I've discovered that there is a direct correlation between amount of free hard drive space and the way Poser 5 functions. After a fresh install with minimal files installed, Poser 5 works like a dream. I have a 40 gig hard drive. I find if I keep free space to about 16 to 18 gigs or more, that Poser seems to work better. Currently I have 14.2 gigs of free space, and I notice a difference in how Poser is working; it seems "sluggish". Does anyone know why this is?

"It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
