Hey, Veth!! Great to see you back! I was reminded of you a week back when I saw your Veth Supermodel used in a Renderotica Gallery pic. Easy solution to Memory Allocation probs in Poser - allocate ALL memory to Poser. Let's say you're busy posing and someone comes up and says, 'Hey, aren't you supposed to be working?' You say - 'Huh? Do I have a job??' Or if it's, 'Weren't you supposed to fetch the kids from school?' You say 'Kids? What kids? I got kids?' Easy! No, seriously, like the guys say, Windows does the memory allocation for you, you can't influence it - apart from stuff like Photoshop. It has an allocation system built in, even in the PC version. Set allocation parameters from 'preferences'. If you have Photoshop already running with big stuff in it when you start up a new app, you may get probs. Do it the other way round, first start Poser, then Photoshop. Then Photoshop can't hog RAM quite as much as it would otherwise. It gets forced into swapping earlier. Slows you down but runs. But the best solution is always - a helluva lot of RAM. :]FishNose
