Hi Brian - welcome to CTH. Could you please provide us with some more details. What OS do you have, how much RAM and the amount of free disk space left on your drive.

From Curious Labs:

When launching Poser, an error appears, " You are out of memory. You may need to increase memory allocated to poser.."

Download and apply the Poser 4.03 updater to your Poser installation.

If you are using Poser 3, there is no fix for this problem. A possible work around would be to remove RAM until the total amount installed = < 1 GB. The answer would be to upgrade to Poser 4.03. Poser 3 owners are eligible for the upgrade.

Try updating to Poser 4.03 first Brian. Poser 4.03 Updater. Link to Curious Labs here. Let us know how you get on.
