Well I cranked the DPMI all the way to 256 meg and I still got the "render out of memory error". Obviously, the file I am trying to render is larger than the 64 meg ram I have. But, as you point out, 3ds attempt to page to disk is misinterpreted by Pharlap. How can I disable Pharlap? Or what else can I do? I don't wan't to page to disk, but if I have to I don't want the Pharlap to spoil it all. regards, Peter Landeck From GCP [25-Sep-95,22:22]
