I have seen posts in the past concerning being unable to import certain objects or bryce fritzing out when you tried to save. I recently upgraded from 256 sdram to 512 ddr. And I noticed I was still having the same problems concerning bryce "running out of memory". Anyway. My hd's are partitioned into several smaller drives, 180 gigs all divided up, 3d/games/movies/mp3's/operating system. The operating sys hd, consequently the C drive. is 3 gigs. Now Somehow along the way I had filled the desktop oops with 1.9 gigs of crap... This limited the Virtual Memory to a shocking low of 143 megs... Causing severe system instability. Now I never realized or thought of this since I have 120 or so gigs of freespace (but not on the OS drive) So this is a warning to everyone, Make sure you have PLENTY of virtual memory when saving/importing objects.
