/me directs you to the FAQ at the top of the page.

What file were you trying to open? Was it a PZ3 file or were you importing an object?

If you are running on a Windows PC, this probably means you need to increase the size of your swap file. When Windows runs out of physical memory (RAM) it swaps stuff out to a temporary file on the hard drive. If you have the maximum limit set too low then Windows will report that it's out of memory. How you change this setting depends upon which version of Windows you are running. Brian

And if you are running your program on a Mac, you can allocate exactly how much memory to give Poser. Under File > Get Info is a dialogue box. Select Memory and change it. Poser needs at least 200 megs of Ram if you are using the millennium figures or anything with huge texture maps. Carolly

Sometimes it means that your .obj files in the wrong place. Is there a message before the memory message that states that it cannot open the file first?

In my experience that message is my computer's way of saying it's had enough! Time for bed, knackered, if you don't switch me off I'm going to blow up! So the answer has no technical aspects at all, switch off, cool down and reboot, solves the problem 90% of the time for me....

Poser doesn't really tell the truth when it gives you error messages. Usually that "out of memory" message comes after you've received an error message that says Poser can't locate or load an obj (geometry) file. For some reason that file is not in the proper folder. Sometimes the geometry file was not installed in the proper place. Sometimes it means you got a file that requires a previous product, and you failed to read the instructions. Sometimes it also means the geometry rsr file is corrupt. Now that you know the basics behind this error message, you can figure it out. GO ahead and load the same item, and pay closer attention to all the error messages you get. If you still need help, come back with more specific information. And you might want to spend some time reading the FAQ at the top of this page.
