ok i found the way to allocate more memory its kind of simple just need to know what values to enter but i will just bite the bullet and drop the hard earned cash to upgrade my system to the max. thanks for all the replies Brian

well that is true never had a problem with other DAZ items but i don't get the cannot find .obj message and i only deleted the stuff i wouldn't use like prop types such as the ball hat sideburns ect ect or the basic Poser 4hi and lo figures and all the animal figures with corresponding poses, textures, ect. i took all the new freestuff d/l's and purchased files and placed them in a seperate folder(not within Poser 4 itself) then basically gutted the useless stuff then replaced all the new files back into the directories they would be found in normally... so i guess it beats the snot out of me. : ) thanks for the reply Brian

Hmmm not sure ...i haven't had any crashes(restarts) but i do get lots of "Can not find .obj" and "The file has a newer version number..Poser will try to read it anyway" and i get a "Caught C exception: Exception Access_violation trapped at 1b:4d3031" when i click on Micheal 2's face.

thanks for the tip

thank you kindly and you're right they had just what i was looking for.
