hi all!
thank you for replying!

@Jean

Currently i am trying to export the animation via a series of jpegs (the one you mentioned aswell) and i am trying to use only the first 2 scenes,just to keep the amount of memory that the computer needs low. but no results. SU keeps crashing.
A few months ago I did a similar animation by using the series of jpegs,because SU crashed when i tried to export the animation as an AVI file.
But now SU does not even want to export a small series of jpegs..

@honoluludesktop

I have 159 Gig free on my hard drive...
i wish that was the problem!

Can someone please help me!
Im currently working on a 265 mb detail model for a client and i need to make an animation.
The problem is that SU keeps on crashing and I can not even export jpeg's.
I do not know if i used to many materials - its over 1200. The model is of a furniture department.

Details of the computer im working on:
Intel core2 Quad Q8400 @ 2.66 GHz
RAM: 4 G
32-bit op system

im trying to export jpeg's with the following settings:
24 frames/s
640x480

As soon as I proceed to export the jpegs the following error's present themselves:

'error 183.'
'not enough space in temp folder'
'unable to create dump file.'

i opened the problem signatures and this is what i found:

I already purged the model. it went from being 368 mb to 265mb. i turned off anti-aliasing. i even tried to export only the jpegs between 2 scenes.
i have tried to use a plugin i found on another forum to export jpegs - no result.

can ony one please give some advise?
