okay I'll bite. Note: I use Poser for stills. I've had no major problems since DAY ONE(I preordered even) I've had no problems at all since sr2.1 I uninstalled Poser 4 the day I got poser 5 and have NOT reinstalled it. I don't get the texture search problem and I have 12 runtimes, which during the course of one picture I got into all of them unless the figure specific ones are not needed(ie mike, vicky 3, koshini, aiko, milbaby). (see the meeting of the weird witch pic on my site if you would like to see a scene with all kinds of figures, hair room, and crap in it) (posting driver related items as well) Dell, upgraded to XP Home, fully updated(week before poser 5 arrived) 512mb of ram 1152x864 res nvidia 64mb video card 60mb hard drive hp laser 1200 printer wacom tablet ms optical trackball Sandisk external compact flash card drive Handspring hotlink cable I use this computer for every thing. Graphic design, poser, bryce, painting, internet, web design and programing, gaming, writing, world building, digital photo editing, dvd's, music, pda, dnd... I can be online, with mozilla opened, email, Palm, html kit, Painter(learning faze, I only got it a few week ago) or Corel(I prefer psp but that is on my sisters puter(25mi away) until next week when psp8 comes) or PSP8beta, poser5, acrobat reader and word(maybe access if I need to see my webpage defaults) and wsftp. Oops almost forgot Keynote. With all these programs I can run and render in production mode with p5. Since I am working on a webpage devoted to the material room this is such a must. I have had no problems with the face room or hair room. I am still learning the cloth room so I only play with it once a week, but otherwise no problems. I push the material room to all kinds of limits for fun(this is my favorite room) I suppose I'm lucky. I run defrag, the equivalent of scandisk, norton antivirus and spybotSD once a month at most. I don't get virus as much as spyware(not using outlook helps with that)
