Hi Steve Shelby, you recently wrote in moray.win:

Well, memory is the most limiting factor. If you only have 128MB, then
you might want to exit Moray when rendering. Use the Task Manager to
check how much memory Moray is using (assuming you're on NT or 2K, I
don't know how to check this under 95/98).

If Moray is running, it's keeping memory from POV-Ray and vice versa.
It might not matter if you don't continue to work in moray, since
Windows might swap Moray out to disk.... 

More RAM would definitely help. To find out why POV-Ray is hanging,
try exiting Moray and loading the INI file that Moray generated and
rendering that.
