I just downloaded some poser files from poserworld.com, and ever since I did that I cant open up poser, it says that I'm outta memory! I have 1.5gig of ddr ram installed. I did a clean system recovery and intstalled poser over again, but it still says the same thing. I also saw something stating to go in geometry and removing the bad obj file, how do I know which is bad? please help me! quick!

well...it although happened to me a week ago...but it disappeared after 2-3 days...I don't know what that was...I thought it may be a spy file...but I ain't no sure : Sorry I couldn't help more :

Hi :) Look in the FAQ, I think I've seen something about being out of memory, and the solutions :)

The most likely culprit is a corrupted geometry rsr file. Find all of the rsr files in the Geometries folder or subfolders of it (NOT in any of the other folders!) and delete them. The particular one causing the problem is the one for whatever your default document is (Probably the Poser 2 guy) but you can just delete them all. They'll come back next time you use each item.

well I solved it!! all your information was pretty helpful! so I do appreciate it! what was wrong, was that I had to update poser 4.0 to poser 4.3!...and that fixed it!

Poser really doesn't know how to talk to us when it comes to error messages. The two error messages you see the most are: 1.) Out of Memory (this usually comes together with some complaint about not being able to load a geometry file). Sometimes we get it because we haven't installed the geometry file in the proper location. Sometimes we get it when the geometry rsr file is corrupted. That happened when I aborted Poser after it couldn't find some textures. 2.) The next error message we see would be "Insufficient disk space to render at the current resolution." You can get that even if you have plenty of free hard drive space. This error is seen with Windows 2000 and Windows XP There are two solutions for this error: 1.) Readjust your Windows Swap file (I'm too timid to do that) 2.) I installed Poser on its own 30GB hard drive, along with my art and downloads. Poser works very well with this situaton. I rarely get the Insufficient Disk Space error. When I do, it's time to defrag the hard drive.

Seems to me that almost every time I download a poser file that has an obj file under the Geometries folder, it opens ONCE and then the rsr file is corrupted and it won't open again until I delete the rsr and re-open. After the 2nd time it usually works ok from then on. I've never been able to figure out why poser always screws up the rsr the first time around. For that matter, since Poser can open the obj's when there's no rsr file present, why the hell does it have to make the damn rsr's (which seem to cause EVERYBODY trouble) in the first place? I've been so fed up with it I'm almost tempted to put a .bat file in the Geometries folder telling it to "delete *.rsr" in all the geometries subfolders and run that EVERY time before I turn on Poser.

rsr's load a lot faster than obj's, thats one reason why Poser uses rsr's.
