Oooh, okay so much to cover, so little time. Let's ... BEGIN!

Shadow:

"POOF" = Vue simply vanishes from the desktop. No error ... just gone!

"CRASH" = Vue crashes, popping up a generic error message. Relaunching the program works fine, but it may or may not crash again in the next session. But probably will.

The other common problem, as someone else described, is the gradual slowdown and then grinding to a halt (becomes totally unresponsive) in Vue Pro.

Next to the initial release of Poser 5 ... this is the buggiest piece of crap I have ever had the misfortune of using. I was able to crank out a couple of animations last night (thankfully it doesn't seem to crash during renders!), but it was pot luck getting them setup and took about 5 times as long.
