thanks for looking at it

Which V-Ray version is this? What is the memory usage at the time of the crash?

Best regards,
Vlado

it’s the SP2 of Vray 1.50
the memory usage at the moment of the crash was 980M of physic memory
but i’ve just seen that the dynamic memory limit is turn on 400MB on auto Mode,
can it be the problem,
i’m not on 64Bit version of XP and i’ve 3GB of Ram

thanks

setting up Dinamic memory limit to 1024 it no longer crash
thanks.
