The newest version of QuickTime was pre-installed on my new computer. When I un-installed it and cleaned the registry (over 40 entries),I noticed a HUGE change in poser. I went from waiting 10-15 sec for the icons to show when I changed library folders to being instantaneous. Poser in general seemed a bit faster overall. I didn't see any changes in any of my other programs,so I would say there is some relationship between Poser and QT.... Perhapes some old codeing leftover from the original Poser that was made for Mac? SWAMP
