Please help me with VRay error

[Amyhage]

Hi There,

i am a first time vray user and i am trying to use the software i have for a project coming up. As of right now i can create a render about every 5th time i hit the render button. The rest of the time i get an error message. I have checked out my error log but i have no idea how to read it or find out how i can fix it. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Amy

Below is a copy of the error log.

Re: Please help me with VRay error

All you do is render the scene 5 times and you get this error? You're not changing any settings, moving the camera, adjusting any geometry in the scene, etc?
