Hi Donglu - We need more information to figure out what happened. How much memory was Pymol using when you first launched it? What about right before you started the raytracing? Are you rendering an unusually large or complex image? You can try adjusting the memory settings for raytracing: in the "Setting" menu, go to "Rendering" then "Memory". Try the various options and see if you still run out of memory. If your image is complex, try reducing the quality. In the "Display" menu, go to "Quality". You may be able to reduce the quality a bit without noticeably affecting the image and it should reduce memory usage. Reducing the size of the raytraced image will also reduce memory usage, but of course your image will be smaller...
