Staale: Thank you, I was aware of that "fix" although Curious have kept it extremely quiet for reasons known only to themselves. I discovered it quite by accident in an earlier thread several weeks ago. However, I'm afraid it doesn't fix the memory leak on PCs, it appears to add a simple patch to one of the dynamic link libraries (asi32_12.dll) and while it does help it doesn't mend it. Unfortunately also, there is a teeny bit of fiddling necessary to get it to work, fiddling that I detailed and explained for people (the file requires renaming in order to work with Poser 4/4.03). Simply because the file inside that archive is not correctly named to work with poser 4 as it is targeted at Poser Pro Pack. So, it's a small file that sticks a finger in a leaking dyke, but as with all leaks, it really needs a proper fix, not some poor slobs index finger. As regards Poser crashing, there is more to a crash than the program arbitrarily closing. I lump anything that makes a program unresponsive as a crash. ScottA: Thanks. I didn't miss your hardware reference, I completely ignored it. I'm not an idiot. I've been working with computers for over 20 years and am perfectly capable of selecting hardware that works. My other applications work fine with my current hardware setup, Poser acts in interesting ways. Interesting ways that are concurrent with hundreds of other users and if you're trying to tell me that hundreds of vocal people, perhaps thousands (if one considers the silent majority) of other people have my exact hardware setup on their systems then I think you need to think about that a bit. Everything is fine "over here" wherever that is supposed to be. Thanks.
