im truely sorry for the both of you. i just dont agree poser is at 100% fault here. it runs just like any other application for me and others. you are in the growing minority i beleive, because somewhere in your system resides a conflict with the way poser is interacting with it. its simply a problem that can be corrected. i do call it bashing when your initial post holds zero information. if you came here for help, you didnt give us much to go on, hence the replies for more information. you came here to bash (which i think you did, out of anger.. totaly reactionary ((which is somewhat justified)) so thats that about that... if your using 2k, make sure you at sr3 for that. i beleive there were some p4 intel updates and on that topic, hit tehre site and check for updates.. did you get new drives with your new computer or were you frankensteining em? depending how old they are, you might want to check up on them too... good luck...
