Zachary, Have you tried scandisk? It sounds like you have a corrupted sector on your hard drive, Scandisk can determine this for you and in some cases fix it. Good Luck, John Dolan

i'll try that thanks

On second thought zach, not that scandisk is bad, it might be that Renderize is attempting to access an area of memory that is already occupied by another application. I would maybe reinstall Renderize and Reduce my Swap file ( this helped me get going) Or do what I did when all else failed, Ask Nick Josephs. Just trying to help, John

zach: If your're getting memory block errors, you are finding a bug. Is it repeatable and can you describe it to me? Nick Josephs Visual Software

Hi Zach: You're having too many problems here. I'd like to have a peek at your configuration again. Could you pls upload to my mail address 74431.3611 your config.sys, autoexec.bat and the first 20 lines of win.ini? I'll see if something doesn't jump out at me. Nick Josephs Visual Software
