Hello,

I feel rather stupid but I have a question.

I have Poser Pro Pack and recently I have noticed that when I am trying to render, the little box that has the render status just sits there. It does not begin to render.

Is this normal, please, with certain things?

When I do a ctrl, alt, delete it does not say Poser is not responding and I defraged my hard drive.

I have a Pentium3 800 with 750 RAM.

Any help on this would be much appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Warm Regards,

operating system? if its windows 9x, im not suprised. poser used to freeze on me all the time back when i was on windows me - especially when i was using high-resolution textures or multiple models. when i switched to windows 2000, poser never crashed or froze again. same goes for windows xp, which is just a glorified version of 2k. theyre both built on the nt platform, which is MUCH more stable, runs everything in a separate process, and has better memory management. id definitely recommend it as an upgrade if you dont already have it. cheers, -gabriel

Agrees with Blackhearted. I had exactly the same problems with an almost identical system. P3 800 with 512Mb RAM. It froze regularly under Win98se. I upgraded to XP and all my problems disappeared. It still occasionally gives me a program not responding message in the title bar. But it always restarts. I've actually tried to get it to freeze. Loaded Poser with multiple figures, High-res maps and loads of lights. All it does is think for a few extra seconds before getting on with the rendering. When it used to happen in 98se I'd usually quit and restart my computer, disable all background apps then load and try again. Worked half of the time. The larger and more complex the scene the more trouble it gave me.

Same here. XP (or any NT based OS) is much better than 95/98.

Thank you all for your reply. I have Windows ME. I am pouting because this is something that just started this week. It would always render before like Grant took Richmond and I was just baffled as to why it started acting up. Thank you again for all your help and advice. Warm Regards, Nancy
