Here is an interesting test which I can get Poser 5 to freeze 100% of the time when switching light sets - I would really appreciate any and all feedback from people who perform this test, especially if anyone can get a successful render without a freeze. This information will really help us in tracking down this bug and properly reporting it to Curious Labs. If you want to perform this test, follow these instructions: This will require that you have installed two free light sets from RDNA "Creed Lights 01" and "Pastels" which are available in their Free Lights download section (see link) 1) Launch Poser 5 to the factory state with the default lights and Don in his whites. 2) Switch lights to the DNA Creed Lights 01 - (first one on the list "Bark at the moon) and render the scene. 3) Switch lights to the DNA Pastels (first one on the list - Pastel 001) - and try a render. On my system, it freezes 100% of the time even after a fresh reboot. The funny thing is that on the surface it looks like both DNA light sets use Light 1, Light 2, Light 3 etc for their names. The difference between them is that the DNA creed light has no Lights 2 or 3, but it has a Light 1, Light 4 and Light 5. The Pastel set uses Lights 1 thru 4 but has no Light 5. Also the lights in one set (with the same names in the other) must change from inf to spot or vice versa, and maybe this is what is causing the problem. Anyway, I'm still tracking it down, and any feedback others provide will be very helpful. Thanks, Ron
