*** RENDER LOCK-UP ! *** -or- *** TOO MUCH RAM ? *** Note - For Windows98 users only. Does Poser lock up on you after a few renders and make you use the dreaded "alt+ctrl+del" to get out of it? I had that problem and this is how it got solved. I am running WIN98 2nd Ed. with 384 MB of RAM installed. (3 DIMMS x 128MB) Somewhere I read that WIN98 doesn't properly handle RAM in excess of 256MB. I have no way to prove this ... except ... when I removed 128MB (1 DIMM) of RAM, and rebooted, Poser no longer locks-up! Using the "System Monitor" and watching the "Unused Physical Memory" statistic, it appears that the "swap file" is used when available memory gets close to zero and uses the swap file. If the system has more than 256MB of RAM, Windows evidently can not keep track of Poser's software properly and "gets lost," hense the apparent "lock-up." This is only a guess, but it appears to work. Do you have TOO MUCH RAM? cheers, dr geep ;=]

Remember ... "With Poser, all things are possible, and poseable!"

cheers,

dr geep ... :o]
