Try this start fresh on your system. Wipe it all out. Install Windows, Install Poser. RUN POSER TO DEATH!! TEST IT HARD Are you still having issues. No? gee I'm shocked.<< Ceba, You are so VERY wrong. I have P5 installed on a completely vanilla machine. THe only thing on it is P5, Win2k, and the drivers for the CD ROM and Monitor. No virus software(unconnected to the net) No active desktop, no extra cards, the machine is as PLAIN as you get. Guess what? I still get crashes, lockups, frozen screens, problems with the hair room, etc. So you little assertions are absolutely incorrect.
