I might be talking in vain here, but some valuable lessons from my good grandma: if you come attacking, people will usually not be willing to try to help you. Just my two cents.

I'm the one that was attacked. My computer, my place of residence, my license.

Look, yeh I get it, but I do this as a hobby. If someone from Renderosity wants to stop by the house and spend all the time it is going to take to get up and running again, they are invited over. I think its funny that I can still fire up Poser 3 on an old box and it runs fine.....The program was running fine before....get it? I Paid for the program. What right does anyone have to suspend or stop me from using it? Maybe Ford sells out To GM. Now your car wont run until you contact gm for their approval and a software update, even though You own the car? I paid for the license already, the program was running, get it?

Using ALZip from ESTsoft.
I discovered it was the zip program that is at fault.
I used another unzip program and the file in question unzipped fine.
sorry for the trouble. I'm gonna contact ALZip and let them know that they have a problem with some zip files.

The decicion by Renderosity has been made. Denelle will no longer be a part of the store. I must abide by this decision, and so must everyone else. My thanks goes out to those who know me and supported me. After reading all of the posts I must admit that I feel a lot like Eleanor "Ellie" Arroway. Blackhearted: Drop it, it's over.

I feel that this is a powerful image. This image, I'm sure, goes against the TOS, which exposes a basic flaw of the TOS and art work.

Thanks for all your help and constructive suggestions.
I was working on this item at 4 AM and was not thinking at all.
Thanks zechs, your comment is inspiring. I've been hacking since Poser1.

Here is my experience:
Downloaded full update package.
While installing I recieved a check sum error on one of
the files. I aborted the install. Poser5 would not run
after that.

Uninstalled poser5. Reinstalled Poser5. Downloaded the
separate content and program zips. Installed these files.
Now I get this while running: Caught C exception access_violation trapped at 1b:af27c4. Crash.

Man, is this fun.

As far as RAM goes, read on: Walter Clayton wrote in message ... > http://www.microsoft.com/TechNet/win98/reskit/part6/wrkc28.asp > > 98 can utilize up to "2G of real memory". There is a bug in vcache management that requires vcache to be limited to 512M when you install more than 512M or real memory however. The question isn't "Is Windows 98 recommended for up to 256M", the question is do you have a need for that much memory. That is something that only you can answer. If you have heavy paging activity then installing additional RAM will boost overall performance. If you're not paging heavily, the system will still make use of the memory, but you won't see much an improvement in system performance. Launch sysmon (start->programs->accessories->system tools) and monitor swapfile in use. If it gets over 15-20M and stays there (or higher) for extended periods of time, then you might benefit from more real memory. > > -- > Walter Clayton Microsoft MVP (MPS-D) & EZA > Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.

The program you are looking for is called sysmon.exe Click your start button, Click run and type in sysmon and click OK. This will bring up a monitor in which you can see your swapfile usage. What I have found out in my system is that Poser and Win98 get along pretty well. Poser will try and load as much as it can in ram. While rendering, it does page out your picture.

This has often been discussed in the Microsoft news group. Here is the general response: 98 can utilize up to 2G of real memory. There is a bug in vcache management that requires vcache to be limited to 512M when you install more than 512M or real memory however. The question isn't "Is Windows 98 recommended for up to 256M", the question is do you have a need for that much memory. That is something that only you can answer.

I've often had the same problem. I'm running the latest and greatest Poser version purchased form C. Labs. I'm also running with 512 MB Ram!! I do know that with the more powerful PC's, I have a tendency to run with huge texture maps, which seams to be my problem. soccer coach
