I've been getting the above message when working in Poser lately; it's only been happening the last week or so, and I'm assuming it's some kind of memory problem. But I have 512 megs of RAM on my computer, and the file in question is only about 64 megs (I've worked with much larger files before). I'm using Win2K with an 800 mHz Athlon CPU, 512 megs of PC-133 RAM, and have a 120 GB hard drive. Has anyone had this problem before, and found a way to correct it? Thanks, Guy Hoyle

Guy, AFAIK, you can assign "quota" for memory usage and/or hard disk space to a user in Win2k. I've read also that you have to run Poser as an admin-user (a user with administrator rights), because it does some things only an administrator can do. Furthermore, do you run Poser with the same user, you've installed it? Willy

Hi Willy, I'm the only user on this computer, so I guess I'm the admin. Any clues about how much memory/hard disk space I should assign? Or how to actually assign them? I've created 400 meg files with very little problem before (except for taking 20 minutes or so to load), but now I get this message on 60 meg files. Thanks for the response, Guy

Very strange. I went and checked the quota setting on my computer, and found out that the quota option wasn't even set, so I'm not sure why I was getting that message. Guy

Well Guy, I'm lost on that sigh. I pointed you in this direction because the message used this quite unusual term. Willy PS: Maybe you can find out about this kind of message when you search the microsoft databases at www.microsoft.com

Hm, maybe, it's this one? I did a search in the English knowledge base (reachable through the microsoft home page) with the word "quota": The problem arises with registry operations (additions?). I'm in the dark why Poser would do registry operations, but who knows? "Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article. This problem was first corrected in Windows 2000 Service Pack 2." They mean WIN2K-Server, Win2K-Professional and Win2K-Advanced Server. I guess, you're using Win2k-Professional ?!? Willy

Yeah, Win2K Professional. I guess I need to get Service Pack 2. Thanks! I should've thought about looking for it at microsoft myself. Guy

No problem, Guy. As you can see from my posts the idea came to me very slow, too. ;-) It had to ripen, I guess. Willy

I also just realized that my second hard drive is formatted as FAT32, not NTFS. I'm converting that over now; maybe that will make a difference. Guy
