No not strange at all.. it's this new feature Ready Boost. The usb stick has to be a compatible of course but you can choose how much Vista will use of it as a cache memory. So it reduces the need of getting info from much slower hard disk all the time... it works something like that:)

Thanks for advices... btw one handy thing with Vista is some sort of usb flash memory stick which Vista will use as a cache memory and thus working much much quicker. Costs like 30 euros... Damn this is a difficult task.. and goes even more difficult when I should choose the display:)

I don't know this case at all... I just wonder why you're so vengeful?
Does he deserve it?

Thanks for replies!

Is Vista so heavy that I should choose good old XP... even if you don't use any extra graphical elements? Could be true.. haven't heard any good feedback about Vista:)

And 4gigs memory.. so be it!!

Well if ideas are needed I can bring out at least one:) If I would have won the previous and thus get a chance to decide I would have suggested something like "thousand caves"... something undergroundish. I don't know if there's been such a theme or not and I haven't think this any further if it's interesting or not:)

Congrats to Death@Midnight! Well done everyone and special thanks for Orbital arranging this! See you guys in the next challenge:)

Really tough decision but here's my vote: 3 points -Dan Whiteside (i like the scifi theme and the richness of details) 2 points -ringbearer (i just like that place) 1 point -Death@Midnight (those chess piece bushes are just great!!)

Hey people where are your gardens?? Only 8 entries now...

Well I use Bryce 6.0
And my laptop has a single core P M740 1,7Ghz, WinXP,1GB,Geforce Go 6800

I just had to abandon that project and start a new one.. no other choice. I think it was something object related because I added all the objects to the library and then into a totally new scene.. same happened. But i didnt have patience to go that far that I woud have tried to discover which object was the reason.

Okay thanks a lot of this information.. that explains a lot! Though i'm not very happy that I encountered it just when creating the best pic of mine. -Okay, reinstalling Bryce didn't help at all. -It doesn't matter to which earlier save point I return.. the bug will still come when creating something new and then save. And thats weird??? Like all the files are affected. I just hope that if I bring the models I've created to a totally new document I could get rid of this bug. If not... what can be done because even the reinstallation didnt help? I'll be back with this after few days when having more time. Thanks for all who have some clues about this bug. -Antti

Thanks for reply but I'm afraid that the file size increase is just random... it happens too if i only add some cubes or so. And the files can't be opened later. They are just empty of objects but still taking the space from my hard drive.. have to test more...

Great challenge idea!!
