I just upgraded my computer and when I try to install Poser 3 it installs but I can't run the program. I seem to recall that it was said Poser can't run if the computer system has to much ram. Could this be the reason and is there a way around it . Thanks for your help in advance. Mike

I haven't used Poser 3 since 1998 or 9, but it's true (in Mac OS 8 or 9 at least) that there are problems trying to address greater than 999 MB of RAM, or more than 128 GB of hard disk space, but it's a characteristic of the OS, not the third-party software.

Why poser 3? get Poser 5!

I am just moving Poser 3 from my old computer to my new computer , it is more convenient to have poser on my new machine. I am debating about upgrading to Poser5 Mike

Poser 4 certainly had an issue with memory over 1GB as an updater was released. I've read that Poser 3 had the same issue and that the recommended action was to remove physical memory until the program runs (yes really :-) ). So there probably isn't a sensible solution other than upgrading or keeping Poser on your old machine.

I was hoping for a workaround , thanks for the response. Mike

When I ran Poser 4.03 in Win98SE, I had only 1 GB physical RAM. I also had a fixed 1 GB swap file in a separate partition on a different hdd. This made 2 GB of Total memory. So I needed the large memory patch for Poser 4.03. No problems. I recommend using the patch, even in Win2000 Pro. I now use W2K Pro with 1.5 GB physical and the recommended min and max for the page file (which is on another partition and hdd). I just got the Pro Pack and Carrara Studio 3 on Friday, so I can't say how PP will behave with the 'large' memory amount (it took over my Poser 4.03). I also have Poser 5 which doesn't seem to have the same issue (latest service release). Now all I need to get, is Transposer.
