Um, Chuck, have you also done that memory fix that CL talks about? I've been having the same problem with bump maps big time, and they corrupt some of my geometry rsr's every time it happened , but then it got bad even when the bump map was already converted. I'm going to do the fix today because I run my Poser off its own firewire drive and this memory prob happens in XP when Poser isn't on the C drive. I haven't tried to render outside the poser window because I can up it fairly high, but I suspect this might be happening because my machine is balking at high-res textures and bumpmaps and I have 2G Ram and 100G free on the Poser drive. I copied the fix just in case, it's hard to link to CL because of the frames Emily 4. Question: Poser can't render high res images. Error appears "Insufficient disk space to render" Answer = After some intense investigation we believe we have a work around. It turns out that Windows NT 4, 2000 and Windows XP must be using some space for the pagefile.sys file on the same partition that Poser is installed, to render large images. The pagefile.sys is the virtual memory or temp space for Windows. An approximate minimum would 10 MB. This amount might have to be increased for more complex scenes and animations. The maximum should be 10 MB or greater. To modify the Virtual Memory: Windows NT 4 = Right Click my computer. Click the performance tab. Click change. Click the drive Poser is installed on. Enter 10 in the Initial size field. Enter 10 or more in the maximum size field. Click set. Click OK. Click OK. Click OK. You may have to restart the System. Windows 2000 = Right click My computer. Select the Advanced tab. Click Performance option. Click Change. Select the drive Poser is installed on. Enter 10 in the Initial size field. Enter 10 or more in the maximum size field. Click set. Click OK. Click OK. Click OK. You may have to restart the System. Windows XP = Click Start. Right Click My Computer in the menu. Select Properties. Select the Advanced tab. Click Settings, next to Performance. Select the advanced tab. Click Change. Select the drive Poser is installed on. Click the Custom size button. Enter 10 in the Initial size field. Enter 10 or more in the maximum size field. Click set. Click OK. Click OK. Click OK. You may have to restart the System. Poser will now be able to render up to its maximum size of 4090 pixels x 4090 pixels @ any resolution
