Brian, my machine "reawakened" and continued into the rendering just as I was sending you the first message. At any rate, the progress bar didn't move in the "Transforming Objects" dialogue for a good 20 minutes. What's going on?

Rich, you have a pretty big scene for only 32mb RAM. I should imagine that it's just a lot of work to compute that much, and you may be swapping. Do you have instances and/or large texture maps too?

No instances, but yes, large texture maps. Turned out it was the power.exe file, though. Another 32MB of ram is next on the list-so many things to buy, so little time, so little money!
