Hello, I have this kind of error to quite often, with or without extra plugin...my machine is a DELL dimension 8300 iwth XP Pro 3Ghz proc/ 2go RAM/9800 pro My analysis of the problem if that Carrara has memory allocation problems ,let say when you use more that 1Go RAM. If you are using hyperthreading, you have this generic error. without HT activated, then Carrara tells you, crashing anyway at the SAME part of the scene, that a memory allocation error occured. The fact to use DCG plugin only add extra memory use (so it crashes sooner), but DCG plugins are not guilty :-). Eovia support reproduced the crash they told me, and told me also that it should be fixed in the 3.05. But this FU%*&%NG patch stills not there, and i start to be seriously PISSED OFF by Carrara, because they should issue at least one-off patches (or call it hotfix as u want) to correct that, as this bug is known since weeks. I bought The eovia powerpack + Transposer + Amapi Pro. But in september if things doesn't evolve seriously in a good way, i will drop Carrara to C4D too...
