" When the saving process gets until 99% then the system freezes. any help?>" The first thing this suggests to me is disk space. I'm not sure why 99%, but it looks as though some final operation is about to take place and can't. If it's disk space, make sure you have a good sized swap file (Windows should have a Permanent Swap file over 100 megs) and in addition, make sure that the drive indicated by your SET TEMP variable also has a large amount available – preferrably over 100 megs too. If these amounts seem high (well, that's because they are!) it's because there aren't many programs that use the resources of the computer the way AAStudio does. There are some rultes of thumb about disk space usage, but of course so much depends on your resolution, etc. I think that for every frame of animation you should have 2 or 3 megs of disk space available. Make sure you register to get c1. If it turns out that it's a bug that's causing this, it's probably fixed in c1. I don't recall seeing this as a bug though….
