I've had a quick read throught the threads here and see a couple of you mention Poser 6 running out of memory! I'm having this problem too - it tells me I might like to save and shut down soon but woe betide me if I do and dont rename the file! Yikes! It won't save - just repeats the message - the only way out is thro task manager and if I try to open the saved file it's blank - nothing in it! Is anyone else having these memory crashes? My machine is high spec as far as memory goes and this isn't occurring during rendering just during scene setup in the Pose Room!

Yes I've had this and I think it may be because of all the renders that the program saves in memory. It defaults to 10. I cut it down to 1 and havn't had problems yet and I've done a ton of HQ FF renders today. Try that, I'm interested too, to see if it works. You can change that setting in preferences.

Thanks Larry - I'll give that a try ;o) I'll let you know how I get on!

Well no luck with changing the no of cached renders stored but I may have found a solution! Curious Labs has a fix for a problem that sounds very similar to the one I was experiencing - I have simply turned down the level of hardware acceleration on my machine (which had been set to full) So far so good! Hopefully this will do the trick!

So, how can I turn down the level of hardware acceleration in XP?

R click desktop>"properties">"settings">"advanced"> "troubleshoot", from there you're on your own. It's experimental.

Thanks! I just found it in the Shade 7LE readme too. I didn't even think to look under troubleshoot.

Anyone have an idea how to turn down harware accelleration on a MAC?
