Hi, I am in trouble when try to open some larger meshes in POSER, eg. Eve series. When I click the wanted Figure in Poser Library, I am getting 2 ERRORS (Cant open and *.obj twice) and then warning table "YOU ARE OUT OF MEMORY! Please save your work and quit soon. You may also need to increase the amount of memory allocated to Poser" I dont know what is wrong - I use Duron 700, 256MB RAM and any other progs are OK; I dont know how to allocate more memory to the Poser individually in Win2k. Please help!

Its a standard errormessage poser gives,if it cant find the obj-file. Make shure that your *.obj file is in the right folder, and to that obj-file there is a corresonding *.rsr file. delete the *.rsr ( its the one in the geametrie-folder) cause the rsr-file can be damaged. poser will build a new one,next time you use the figure.

it's not a memory problem, that's just the standard Poser message, what it means is that you're either missing the *.obj it mentions, the rsr file that's with the obj is corrupt, of the *.obj is sitting in the wrong folder. Make a note of the folder the error mentions, then find that folder if it's there, delete the rsr file, then load poser & try again, make sure you have all the correct files for eve as well, there are at least 3 versions about all different.

Deleting the OBJ file`s accompanying RSR file will solve the problem...

Do I see heads keeling over?

One additional thing here also that I have run into...The .obj file is 'case sensitive'. If the author of the mesh or tex has used upper/lower case in link to .obj and it doesn't match the case used in .obj: No go!

You jogged my memory on another one, c1rcle..LOL. Sometimes it helps to take control of your virtual memory/swap file instead of letting Bill Gates do it for you. Try disabling the option of letting Windows set your VM and set it for twice your physical memory...if it doesn't help you can always change back and let MicroBill take over again!

Thank you for all your replies a lot :-) Note that the error was occured after second load of the file. When I loaded the Characters/s from Library 1st time, things were OK. By the way I ve got many memory troubles with my PC after upgrade to Athlon XP2000+ . Although the working was speeded-up, many progs started working pretty strangelly, some apps frozed during loading and some other progs when running. The processor started to freeze at cca 60C and 3rd day of usage totally collapsed. I ve changed procc. back to Duron, but some troubles are continuous, eg. the Poser one mentioned above (I use mainboard MSI K7T266Pro2A).

I may be wrong but it sounds like maybe you need some more cooling for the XP and it's getting too hot.
