What computer you have? I'm running a Xeon 866 MHz with 512 MB RAM and a GeForce 2 videocard. Poser 4 starts within 5 seconds but Poser 5 needs up to 30 seconds to start on my system. For use Poser 4 you should have a PII or better with a minimum RAM of 256 MB to run it smooth. For Poser 5 I have to say the faster the better and much RAM. I hope that helps a little bit Chris
