Well I have made an animation with contains emitter & several particles. But now is the problem, when I try to render te animation, I don't see the particles. I can't do an hardware render because I haven't got a great graphics-card.
Is there any way to show the particles with software render?
Hope someone can help me.

Greetings, Peter

Sure, simply select your particle object, and open its' atribute Editor, and change the particle render type to anything that has a (sw) beside it indicating that it can be rendered using the defualt scanline renderer (software renderer).

Hope that helps user added image
