I am running Poser 5 on Windows XP Pro with a Pentium(4)4CPU Processor 2.80 GHz with 1 GB RAM. When I try to start Poser 5 it just stays with the hourglass and doesn't open. My other programs (Bryce, Cinema 4D, AutoCAD, etc.) all open. This just happened this afternoon. It has been running fine for several months now. I tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it and that didn't help. Thoughts, Support? Thanks a bunch, Susan

Installed a new software program lately? that is conflicting with it. I am thinking a Firewall (I can be wrong on the firewall). They are good for that on all programs nowadays. Need internet to register and unlock programs. OR...best is an poser is trying to read an "Obj" file. So, that could be it to. That maybe installed a new prop, or character into poser?

I really hope these help. :-)

No new software. I don't have a Firewall. The program is unlocked. It was working earlier today just fine. I have lots of content, but have not installed any since it was working fine earlier today. I can get it to open now, but it takes about 15 min. to load. Then when I try to add a figure or prop or anything for that matter it takes the same 15 minutes minimum. What's up with that? -Susan

Poser is trying to read a file that has been added lately or changed. Something is holding poser back (Reading and Reading).

Now, after I wrote my response. I thought about ram. That maybe the ram has been changed...not the one on your motherboard. Stating changed in BIOS, or in WinXP...."Virtual Memory". Their was times I changed my Virtual Ram (If you know what you are doing), then next boot-up, all went back. Sometimes Windows has a tendency to correct itself, for odd reasons. I am know Windows software expert...only hardware. Although having a understanding of windows makes my day go by ok.

Also, when uninstalling. It didn't remove a Registry. I have to look into this. The old Registry is still there. I hope some others will jump in as well and give responses.

You say you are on XP. I suggest you go to a "restore point" before the problem and see if that fixes it. I'm assuming you know how to do that but if not drop me a PM and I'll do a step by step for you. Cheers!

is your poser 5 an upgrade of poser 4 or did you recently uninstall poser 4? I did and poser 5 stopped working and had to reinstall poser 5. just a hunch here.

Straight Poser 5... no upgrades.
