I don't think it's the application itself. If it were, most of us would have had your problems. And we don't. I can imagine you'd rather not reinstall Windows from the ground up. A clean reinstall of everything takes the better part of two days. But that is what I mean. Reinstalling Windows over an existing installation will not only preserve most of your settings, it will also preserve the corruption. So that won't work. If you've divided your disk in multiple partitions, the reinstall will be much faster, since you won't have to reinstall content - that is, if you installed the content on another partition than the system partition. If you only have a C: partition, you have to back up all your data to CD or DVD - a clean format before reinstalling is highly recommended. And partitioning the drive is also a very good move. I'd suggest three partitions: system (only Windows), apps and backup. I hope you have a 'real' Windows XP CD, not a system restore CD. Most computer brands only provide a restore CD (HP does, Acer does, that I know from experience. A good reason NOT to buy a brand computer). About the correct Python version: I think it was 2.2.1. But I can't find it right now. There was a thread about this issue in the Poser Python forum a couple of weeks back. You might find it there. Another thing - do you have Quicktime 6? That might be the culprit. For some things Poser still uses Quicktime if it encounters it on your system, and Quicktime 6 is a major piece of trash. Upgrade to 6.5.1 will help - uninstalling Quicktime won't, it'll leave loads of muck in your registry.

The pen is mightier than the sword. But if you literally want to have some impact, use a typewriter
