PS CS5 + 3D + animation = crashing!! Please help!

i trying animate 3d objects , photoshop cs5 crashes time after trying run little movie.

otherwise ps works fine, on other tasks.

 

my ps-version 12.0.1

i running on new (spring 2010) macbook pro 15" 2,53 ghz i5, 4 gb ram, nvidia geforce gt 330m (256 mb vram).

i on 10.6.4 , have run available apple updates.

i have tested broken fonts - found none.

i tried disable opengl - didn't help, crashed in way though.

i tried run in 32 bit mode - same crash usual happened.

photoshop set use 70% of available ram (ca 2306 mb) (i think default?). history , cache settings default. opengl set basic.

the efficiency numbers on 100% (but have observed number go lower, 80 or brief moment (before crash) think went 20%).

 

the file not huge, 768 x 1366 pixels, have 6 layers, 5 animated, , 2 of 3d-layers (text transformed 3d-postcards). animating position , camera position (and style), not or fancy stuff. file 6,6 mb.

i try render screen, if that's correct phrasing. having ps run movie on screen via animation panel.

when ca 4 - 5 seconds have been rendered (the whole set 6 secs)  screen shows grey plate covering movie (partly or fully) , system activity monitor shows memory gone, photoshop uses 0% of processor , crashes no message on screen, crash.

 

i have tried same procedure on freshly booted system no other applications running photoshop , activity monitor. same crash.

i tried run movie when logged in admin (my usual logon not admin) same crash occured.

 

i have tried run file on ps cs4 on pc (fairly new hp, not fast) , file animated without crashing sloooow have grown beard (and girl...). guess file isn't broken...?

 

what doing wrong? 4 gb ram little this?

my video card not listed among tested here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/831/cpsid_83117.html. it's brand new macbook pro, 1 think should work fine...

 

any advise on crash type (with grey plate) appreciated.

or other advise on how can fix setup work task.

 

please?!?

new info:

i took file home , run animation on macpro, , run fine. slow first @ normal pace , ps4 did not crash, it's not error inside file. (the macpro of first version (2006?) 10.5.x (8?), 8 gb ram , ps cs4. run several other programs @ same time there not ram left on ps, maybe little bit more 1 gb.)

 

please please, advice make me happy!!

specially if can use animation/3d in ps cs5 on 4 gb ram , works fine.

 

i phoned adobe support in country didn't have serial me @ time couldn't open case me. spoke while, unfortunately without solving problem. hoping you, guys/gals!!
