I have a copy of poser 3 given away on the coverdisc of 3dworld mag. When I come to run it I get this message (see image) and it won't run. Considering I'm running a 2 gig athlon with 1 gig of ram seems strange that I'm out of memory! Instillation went ok. Any guys got any thoughts or ideas..? Cheers

I seem to remember something about Poser 3 and 4 (in it's earley versions) that couldn't cope with that much memory. There is an updater for Poser 3 HERE but I'm not sure it solves the problem. There also was a memory manager-thingie for P4, not sure if it works with P3 tough. But it may be worth a try. They're HERE if you want to try them out :o)

by the way, I don't know if it makes much difference, I'm running windows xp pro.!

ernyoka1 thank you very much. I tried those links and it works fine. And what timing! I only posted this sos half an hour ago :) have a beer on me!!

Thanks, I will :o) Glad it worked. pfffft (sound of beer can being opened)

You also get that error if you try to load a character file and you're missing it's cooresponding geometry file OR if you have the geometry file, but its accompanying rsr is corrupted. If you're sure you have the geometry (obj) file you can go into your Geometries directory, locate the obj, and delete its corresponding rsr. That way, Poser can create a new, clean one next time you try to load the file. Also, to find out the filepath to your obj file, you can open up the cr2 file in Notepad. This is what I've discovered using Poser 4. I'm not sure what would be different with P3 but I thought I'd offer the suggestions.
