Hi Ron...the problem I had before was when I tried to render in a new window (screen resolution at 800 x 600), was that it would freeze and the only thing I could do was C+alt+delete. This would happen everytime I tried to render large when the image included shadows, bumpmaps, large props, more than one character, etc., etc. As for defraging...I do that about everyday. I don't know why my above solution works, but it does and I'm thrilled to death. :-)

My idea of rebooting is kicking somebody in the butt twice!
