Has anyone experienced a problem with poser refusing to render properly into a new window, but rendering into the main window OK? The problem shows up as vertical lines; as the render fills in from bottom to top, at some point the rest of the image fills in with vertical lines with the same colors as the very last successfully rendered horizontal scan line. It seems to be related to various mesh object props, poser figures by themselves render without problems if no props are added to the image. The rendering always fails as it starts rendering one of these props. I suppose the prop .obj files could have been corrupted somehow, but many of them do this and they are in many different directories, and why just the New window and not the main? Fooling around with different backgrounds, resolutions, and anti-aliasing has no effect. The only recent software changes is the installation of Zone Labs Zone Monitor, any known issues with this vs. Poser? I am running poser v4.0.3.126,500MHz PIII, 128 MB RAM, Win 98. Shall I just forget it and re-install poser? Thanks for any insights you all may have...

Hmm. Strange nobody has replied to this one. It isn't a problem on my machine. But I have heard this complaint from other people before. ScottA

I haven't seen this first hand, but one of my customers reported the problem, they found it was related to the printer driver, you might want to try uninstalling you printer and see if that fixes it. If it does you will have to look for a different (newer?) printer driver, I guess.

Bingo! Turns out there was an old HP610C printer driver still there I had forgotten about in addition to my current printer. I uninstalled both, checked poser: rendered fine. Then I re-installed the driver for my current printer. Checked again, and poser still works! It must not have liked the old driver, or at least not having both drivers installed at the same time. Thanks a lot, Jim! It would have taken me quite a while to start looking at printer driver problems!
