Ok, I'm working on an image in bryce that is about 160megs right now...it was fine, but now when I try to load it, bryce errors and shuts down...it says bryce.exe. So I have to start over again...So now I tried to merge that file into a new document and it worked...though I have to tweak it. Is there something I can do to prevent this from happening in the future? Is the file corrupted? Not enough HD space? I have 256 ram, 400 PII...I have about 1 gig space left on the drive with bryce, but bryce is using windows temp for caching, can I switch this to a larger drive? Any help is much appreciated. Bryan
