DAZ studio terminates quickly when ...

I have a scene with five figures, and when I attempt to merge another figure to that the program hangs. Sometimes it says "this application has requested the runtime to terminate it in an unusual way," other times it just goes out like a light. I'm still using 4.6.0.18 pro 32 edition.

What OS and how much memory?
What figures?
It sounds like you are running out of memory...
Win7
installed memory 4096 mb
available 3063 mb
Figures I'm using are the Genesis basic figures.
32 bit?
If you are running 32 bit, then chances are you are running out of memory. 32 bit systems only have a maximum of 4 GB...and the OS will eat a big chunk of that by reserving around 1 to1.5 GB for itself. And if you have onboard video, instead of a video card, there goes another chunk off the top.
Thanks mjc, guess it's time for a new box.
