Quote - ... I installed Vista Premium the other night, and today was the first day I got to launch Poser 7, it will get all the way to the loading screen and then it tells me Poser Executive file has stopped working properly and I am forced to close out the program.

 

I ran into the same error after installing Poser 7 under a clean Vista installation.  I came to the conclusion that it was failing because the license did not get applied during installation, and something is happening in Poser at the point of license validation.

This conclusion was reinforced by the fact that I had a backup of my old XP hard drive and I was able to successfully launch Poser 7 out of that, getting the window showing my license key at the point where the clean install fails.

I simply deleted my new Poser 7 directory and copied the old one from my backup in place, and now its working like a charm.  Obviously that doesn't help if you don't have such a backup image, but it may give someone else some ideas.
