I had it too, renders exactly like that, and it took W2K Pro (I imagine XP would do the same) to get rid of it! It seems to happen with larger amounts of RAM especially. I really hated to buy an OS that I didn't know if I'd need or not, but after trying everything else, I decided to bite the bullet and go for the OS, and I couldn't be happier. I hope you figure it out! One thing you may want to try is making your light map sizes larger, and your shadows around .5, and see if that works too. It did seem to speed up my renders somewhat..... course it may have been my imagination too. ;)

What we do in life, echoes in eternity.
