When importing the second dragon rider (as pz3) for my latest work (see http://www.renderosity.com/viewed.ez?galleryid=388557&Start=1&Artist=gerberc&ByArtist=Yes), Win98 claimed that there is not enough disk space to complete the operation and Vue crashed. Each pz3 file only had about 9 MB and I have 512 MB RAM + 1 GB swap space. When checking with the resource monitor I found that approx. 700 MB (!) of swap space were used to import just one dragon rider. Strange ... Although it's not a real problem (I just had to leave Vue and reboot the PC after importing each pz3) I wonder why this happens. After all the final Vue scene has only about 25 MB. Is it a Win98 problem? Has anybody else made this observation? Regards, Christoph
