Thank you, Danidh, that's the official memory fix, I usually have to post it every week-- would be helpful to have it in FAQs or Tips or something. It really works. More memory helps, but without this fix, it won't do you any good. I had 512 max on my XP notebook, needed the fix. Got 2 G-- not just one-- on my new machine-- needed the fix. Not right away. It wrote fine for a few weeks then got confused. I use Poser on other than my C drive, that's the problem. Heck, I bought a 120G firewire just for it to live on. Emily
