Thanks for the suggestions, I saw the one fix that you mentioned on that other thread, and I misread it, I wasnt looking to reinstall but figured what the hell. I put the poser 7 disc in and it wont install from the main menu, it seems for me to hang up, so I browse the cd and go in through the installer folders and still the same thing. Its great how there isnt a patch for me to get my money back on my credit card from microsoft, because just like music soon as you open it you purchased it. So needless to say I am quite upset that microsoft releases such a buggy program, I dont remember this many problems with XP when it launched.
