It really can depend on a few things, is it a complex scene or just a few things? I've had crashes at render time and usually its on really loaded up scenes and I've got 16gb of ram. Does it always crash or just when a specific item is in the scene?
At 4Gb of Ram only small scenes are going to Render, If your Rendering to Window stop. Do Render to File instead, that will keep more Ram free to do the render. DAZ Studio is a CPU based Render prg and it uses Free Ram to calculate the images before they are saved to file. Your simply Running out of Ram is what I am thinking. This happens to many users with only 4Gb until they learn to go smaller in all ways. Amount in render Scene, characters, clothing, hair all add up fast, and even Size of render all matters.
Vista 32 or 64 bit?
If 32 bit you need to enable 3GB switching at boot or you are only allowing any single application to maximize 2GB RAM total while it's in use.
the switch will allow it to use 3GB instead.

If that's not working you can render using stand alone 3Delight. These instructions are for mac, but they will work with windows.

Hello,
I did not understand. Translators are very limited in this case (...).
I'll probably have to go in the first time at 64.

Thank you

If you use Daz Studio 32 bit with Windows Vista 32 bit and you have 4GB RAM this helps. If you use Windows vista 64 bit it does not. help. If you are using 64 bit Daz Studio already, this wont help because you need 64 bit Windows to run it in the first place.

If you are Daz Studio is crashing when you render you can use the stand-alone 3Delight from http://www.3delight.com and download 3Delight. When you go to the window to render your scene in Daz Studio you save the file as an .RIB file instead, you quit Daz Studio, open the stand alone 3Delight. This is done after you install the 3Delight software that is NOT part of Daz Studio and the rendering is done from a Command Line in Windows. A Command Line is often called a "DOS" prompt, which it is not.
