Just ran a render at 600dpi 2000x2000 and no problem, never seen that error message before. Read the link above quoteing the FAQ from Cl. I'm useing Windows98/2nd ed. on 62Mb RAM, 300 Mhz under the hood and about 500Mb of free elbow room. (My abacus says thats 0.5Gb for those who got confused by the Mb.) Good to know I'll be spending a week fixing everything when I finally get a new system and Poser5 and 3Dstudio Max and DeepPaint 3D and Bryce5 and everything in the marketplace and a DSL connection and all the vendors are sending me complimentary copies of their products. Sorry, I drifted.
