Can't use dforce hair please help!

Hi everybody!

I seem to have no problem with non-dforce hair, and they appear in the viewport and render well.

But when I try every dforce hair, it just appears in wires and doesn't look like actual hair. 

I guess that force hair can't be viewed in the viewport, but it gets even worse when I try to render it. Since the program crashes on render. 

For the render engine, I used the engines 'Viewport', 'OpenGL', '3Delight' and 'Scripted 3Delight', but none worked. 

I changed my graphic card driver settings several times, but that didn't work. 

And since I work in a 32-bit system, I can't run Iray. 

Here is a screenshot of my workspace:

It is probably just running out of memory, I'm afraid - Strand based hair, whether dForce or not, generates a lot of geometry at render time. Graphic cardd river shouldn't have any bearing on 3Delight. You could try reducing the hair density and number of segments (in the Surfaces pane)
