Quote - What graphics board/chipset do you have and what's your driver version?

the graphics is nividia g-force 6100 n force, also running a directx 10

I am doubting really that it's a problem graphic related, again as my 3ds max9 and Maya ( both have much greater demands for rendering) run flawlessly, Im pretty sure its a issue with Vista and Poser itselfsome snag in it someplace
