how is it that poser is at fault here... doesnt look like you were doing anything out of the ordinary. maybe you were pushing your system or theres a config/memory issue you need to resolve. whats your paging file size? how much ram you got? what os? whats your mainboard type? could be a conflict between it and maybe your hd's... maybe your pulling too much power from your power supply and you dont have enough juice to go around... you add density/complexity, it takes processor !power!. as for your frustration on the pose problem, sounds like you, not poser was at fault. more details would be nice so cooler-heads can determine what happened. we need video card support is what we need... openGL or directX
