Try this. I disabled all my backround programs. (booting in safe mode may do the same). Atleast diable firewall and anti-virus. Install and run poser. Access all the rooms. I kiled of the pop-up help windows. Reboot with everything turned on. You should have a working poser. To get the pop-up help back reset to factory defaults. Why tis works is beyond me, but it is wort a try.
