I don't do anything or hit anything. I just wait. It does finally finish but it's not rendered. It's still in wireframe. It does show the Not responding at the top. Nothing pops up and under the task manager it also shows it's not responding. I'm not forcing the program to close by hitting the "X". Like I said in the beginning, it finished, but stayed as wireframe and the "not responding" goes away. The only thing I was trying to render was an actor from the actor's folder for the first exerise.

The issue occurs when I use the render mode and depending on the detail involved, it will cause the program to show a 'not responding' message at the top of AM program's title bar (where the project name is listed). This issue also occurs in renderring lock mode, however, it works perfectly fine when renderring to a file. Working with AM v15.0 I disabled desktop composition.
