When posting problem reports, please include the version of Indigo, what 3D program and which Exporter you're working with. Screen shots of the error messages either form Indigo, or whatever a given exporter provides to you are also usually helpful.

Hi,

are you using subdivison? High subdivison levles use a lot of memory. Try reducing you subdiv levels.
Also, are you using XP 32 bit? If so, any application can't use more than 2GB of ram.

This may be the same problem that I recently had.

It may be a build up of Indigo Render files in the Indigo Render "Cache" on your local hard drive.

It seems that every time that you render a scene Indigo saves a huge file in your computers cache & that eventually uses up your disk space.
For instance I just deleted 90GB of Indigo files that had built up over the past week alone. We were testing & rendering (Master & Slaves) 24 hrs a day on 4 computers.

I'm no expert but this is what I did to delete all of those files in the Indigo Render cache for my PC:
1. Click on Explorer
2. Click on OS (C) drive (my local hard drive where the problem was)
3. Click on my user name folder
4. Click on "Application Data Folder" (mine was hidden so I had to go to "Tools" then "Folder Options" then "View" then "Hidden Files & Folders" then click the "Show hidden files & folders" button)
5. In the "Application Data Folder" click the "Indigo Render" folder
6. Click "Cache" folder & you will find 3 folders that have Indigo Render files that should be deleted-see warning
7. Also click "Render" folder & you will find Indigo Render files that should be deleted-see warning

*Warning-It is my understanding that you should not delete these files if they are the render that you are presently working on. But like me, you probably have a lot of old render files that need to be deleted.
