If there were any problems in the texture references CR would scream the news from the rooftops (in it's own way) so the problem has to be something else. If it was the geometries files the figures just wouldn't load without throwing up all sorts of messages & search requests so it can't be that either. Unless we're all getting too technical & it's something really simple like poser taking ages to work out how to render the lights so it's not really crashing at all. PBooost 1.4 can open edit & save compressed files which comes in very handy with Poser5 as you can compress everything :) What I do these days is install, run CR over it then compress it saving me loads of space on my harddrive.
