tlaloc321 I'm having the same problem as you are. My system is not even a year old...i have a nvidia card with the latest updates and when I installed all my virus and firewall protection was off. I'm using winxp...but that really shouldn't have anything to do with it. So Poser 6 starts fine...but if I try clicking on any tab such as "material" "face" etc at the top, the program automatically crashes without dialog boxes, warnings and it's gone. I really hate to think that I spent all this money to not even be able to run the darn thing. Very frustrating. :(( I'm really stumped on this one.
