I tried to do a search here but Rosity not working too well tonight. The problem I'm having is when I try to render with firefly I just get a blank screen (same color as background in the image). It doesn't matter if I render to same or new window. Anyone know what's going on? thanks, Pam

I dont get that one but some others have. I think that is one of the fixes Kupa mentioned below. Can you show us a screen shot. Sure someone here may be able to tell you what might work. Ron

There's not really anything to show. it just renders pure grey if I render in same window and black if i render to a new window. I've been using P5 for about a week now and haven't had any problems until yesterday. I did a system -clean disk and it worked again and then today i got the parse error. Fixed the parse problem and now this rendering problem started again and nothing else to clean on my hard drive. i also defragged just in case that might do it but it didn't. It will render with just the P4 renderer. I'm pretty much out of ideas. Thanks for trying to help, Ron.

Hmmm, ok I can try that but maybe I'll wait for the patch and see if that helps. i just hate reinstalling. When i got XP I swear i reinstalled that darn thing 5 times before i could use my computer. Thank you very much for your help. :) Pam

Hyya I found that this was a virtual memory problem. Poser (for obvious reason) like OODLES of virtual memory. I have Win2KSP2 so bear wih me. You need to put a virtual memory slice on each partition(if you've only the one -fine) set the virtual memory setting to the same value ( instead of a spread - so instead of,say, 500 - 1000Mbs you add 1000-1000Mbs) This worked for me I also found that if I used the P4 render I got the famous "insufficient disk space) and nothing. P5 is a memory hog -feed it lots and it will love you PaulC
