For anyone who says things like: {These bugs are (for the most part) configuration specific } Please, please tell me what the correct "configuration" is. I routinely create 18"x24", 300dpi images in Photoshop with no problems. I create 2-3 minute animations in Lightwave using HyperVoxels, fire, and smoke effects. Poser 4 works perfectly (well, except for the usual bugs, but at least it doesn't crash). I have a Sony VAIO, 3Ghz dual Pentium 4 Hyper-Thread, 160G hard drive, 512M RAM, and Windows XP Pro. So, how do I change my system so that it is the correct "configuration" for Poser 5? These other, more complex, programs have no problems at all with my system. Why should Poser 5? It's rendering engine and modelling features are vastly inferior to Lightwave, yet Lightwave works perfectly. I agree with the above poster who said that the complaints about P5 have died down because people are tired of being told that it's their fault. I'm sorry, but I'm not going to play with the registry or virtual memory settings or the system BIOS or some other arcane setting just so ONE program will work properly.
