I installed Vista Ultimate 64 and I just can't get Poser working reliably on it.  

Once you get it running it seems to work well, but I restart my computer and it immediately says ***'This application has failed to start because FreeImage_Win32Release.dll was not found.  Re-installing the application may fix this problem.'


If I just copy the file over it stays the same however I re-install and it works fine.  Turn the computer off and the same message appears :(

I know it is something to do with administrative privs but I 'run the program as an administrator' each time

Oh and it wouldn't even install Vista with my dual nVidia 7800 gtx cards in.  As soon as I removed (well, not actually me, but I saw to it that it was removed ;) ) one card it was okay.  Now with everything installed and latest drivers from nvidia if the card is put back in the computer (4800+ with 4 gb ram and 4 x 300 gb hd's) it won't start again.  Even my two WD My Book Platinum II 1 terabyte external drives won't work with it.  So on the whole I haven't had a great experience with it.

Oh... I did get Vue 6 Infinite 64 bit working and it runs very fast, so I am sure eventually it will all be okay.

I have another copy of vista ultimate 64 for my dual opteron workstation but I think I will hold off for the time being  ;)
