Here's a Poser 5 bug that just cropped up. Now whenever I start Poser 5, the python pop-up window loads up too. Can't get rid of it either, clicking on the red X does nothing. I tried running the service pack 4. Didn't help. I tried re-installing Poser. Didn't help. Even unintalled and re-intalled Poser. So it should be a completely new set up, right? But that silly python box still pops up when I start Poser. Any ideas?

if you are copying out the runtime folder before installing, then replacing after install, the reinstall means nothing :)

Even renamed the runtime so that when I reinstalled it created a new runtime.

Have you recently installed any other programs that use Python?

Not that I know of. There must be some sort of setting somewhere, an .ini file or and .xml file or soemthing that is doing this. But it would seem with a fresh install that creates a new runtime that what ever bad setting there was wouldn't be in a fresh install. Oddly enough, if I select python script from window in the bar at the top, it putsthe pop-up in a different place and then I can click the red X to turn it off. So it is more of a nuicanse than something that will stop me from working.
