Hi. This usually means that you are low on "System RAM". How much RAM do you have right now?

There is another issue which can cause this error message. which version of Bryce 4 are you using ? Meta Creations or Corel .. and did you patch your Meta version with the Corel 4.1 update. I have Meta Creations version.. updated to the 4.1 patch from Meta Creations (still on www.brycetech.com) and could work with 3ds & cob file imports. Updated to Corel 4.1 (pretty much the same, just a new splash screen) and started getting this error message. :( If you have the Meta CD, uninstall .. get the update from Brycetech.. and update again. :) That fixed it for me.

The doctor says I have way too much blood in my caffeine system.

Actually, I've gotten the same error message about being out of memory. I have bryce 4 with the corel patch. I have 384 megs ram. Unfortunately, I have a pc, not a mac, so I can't allocate memory. I'm using Windows 98 and am thinking of switching to windows 2000, which has a different memory management.

I hear that there are two versions of the Corel 4.x patch. One was flawed. I haven't tried the new corel update to see if this cures the error message or not.. the meta patch seems to do just fine :)

Actually upon doing some experiments I noticed that this is irregular...for instance, I exported a figure from Poser that caused the msg upon importing it into Bryce...and another that didn't...actually a variation of the same figure...well, go figure...
