TheBryster - well if your post was for me - i've cheked that - and there has been no hidden running processes - i know that you can experience - if explorer fails that all your instances of bryce disappears from the taskbar - but you can get them back with alt-tab cycle through running applications - but the memory theft has been without running bryce applications ...neither as applications nor as processes :-)

I'm getting more and more covinced that bryce has a memory-leak - i've experinced that after opening bryce (and closing afterwards) many times in a row , with renders in between i get less and less free memory - but that doesn't show up in the task manager because the stolen chunks of memory don't belong to any process any longer, but still are unavailable to the system. That could be a part of your problem (if i'm right in assuming the memory leak)

Helanker - nope!!

Cyba_storm - Exactly :-)

B/W Waterdrop

cyba_storm LOL - exactly :-)

Amazing!

Sambucus - yeah i know - just when i think i'm just alittle bit good, i come across some young guy/girl on the net which make me wanna go hang myself LOL - well, i'm not supposed to live of this, and it's still great fun to explore the possibilities in especially bryce, but also C4D and VUE. VUE by the way has come in af free version 7 - named VUE Pioneer - the only drawback is that it renders a VUE 7 logo as well on your renders :-S

I know exactly what you mean - but its so tempting to try out all those new programs, however i think i'm learning to get a hold on myself. The main reason im looking at other 3D-prog's than bryce is that i'm extremly nerveous about it's future - the poor thing have had many foster-homes and the last place it's stuck - well its like the story of cinderella ..with bryce beeing the good orphan LOL. Well to make a lshort story long...i think one HAS to concentrate on 1,2 or 3 porgs - or else you'll end up been halfbad/halfgood at all of them

Well - i disabled my download manager - but got corrupted files (unless you mean that one DONT get corrupted files when using a download manager) - but if i had used my manager maybe i shouldn't have spent the whole sturday downloading LOL

....and you better try to run the downloaded files - so far i have had 10 corrupted files out of 100 ! - it's of cause fixed with a re-download ...but man is that annoying !

Yes the counter has gone hay-wire - when it timed out for me it stated when i logged in again that i tried to get a file i didn't have permission to - and then i removed two from the counter - :-( i am so sorry that it is DAZ3D that owns BRYCE

Yeah - i had the same thought - is this the famous "last breath" for bryce???? - anyways regarding the mix of Mac and Win files - i should learn to read help text carefully - under download tips theres the followng paragraph:

"8. By default, downloads for both platforms appear in your 'Available Downloads.' You can change your preferences so that you are only seeing the Mac or PC files in your 'Available Downloads.' To do this, log into your account on our website. Click on 'My Account' in the upper right. On the left, click on 'Your Preferences.' On the new page, you will see a dropdown menu. In this menu, choose Mac only or PC only. Then click 'Submit' further down on the webpage. Now when you go to 'Available Downloads,' you will only see the downloads for the platform you have chosen."

Been There done that - and spend a whole strday downloading :-( - daz3d sometimes cuts the connection and the i forget how much i've downloaded + they mix Mac and win files in a whole chaos + the filenames are not the same as the title on the link - so i probably miss 10% of the files sigh  :-( - but other than that - cooooool offer LOL
