Grrrr.....

Nope, it's not an installation problem. It's a WinXP 64 bit problem. I ran it on a WinXP 32 bit installation, and it ran without a delay.

That was actually run with the same installation - I just network shared the install directory, and ran on another system. Works as long as only one version of the serial number stamped poser executable is active. A little slower on loading files, but I don't have to install Poser on every system I may want to use in the house. One central installation, and I can use poser "like a book".

It's looking like it is some kind of video driver issue under WinXP 64. If I use SreeD instead of OpenGL  the delays go away completely. Strange.... I'll have to see if there are driver updates for my video.
