Subject: Poser throwing its toys out of the pram!

Up till now have not had much problem with P7 and Vista (I'm assuming the problem's between these two monoliths).  However, after my reformat and what all, P7 has decided to freeze up or crash as soon as I load V4 or any other figure.  Any suggestions?

I've a Vista Home Premium PC 2.66/2Gb RAM.  Nvidia card which supports Open GL.

Also have 500 GB internal HDD and 160 GB external HD.

Make sure you have reinstalled the latest graphics driver for your card and check the settings.

Check that your have readjusted Poser's display options, and turned off the "Use external binary morph targets" option (as this is on default, you may need to recover any recently saved scenes with V4.1 in).

And the latest service release of Poser-7 too 😄

Best regards,

Hi - checked with CP about this - I have both the graphics card latest update already and the latest service release - BUT - I didn't know about the 'binary morphs' unchecking - anyway, I've played around for an hour or two and - touch wood (or my head) - so far so decent.  Grrr, V4!!!!

Thanks for the advice, BTW!

From what I have read Vista security hates any applications that tryto write data into the program folders . You can apparently set the application to run as asministrator which is supposed to help .

you could also try switching to SreeD mode instead of open GL when using V4, it will only mildly affect the preview (transmapped hair is easier to view actually) but not effect the final render

what card are you using?

NVIDIA Ge Force 8500 - and its drivers are UTD.  So far I've had no probs since unchecking the external binary morphs box - even did a render this morning!  Well, it's all part of the learning curve that is Poser!

My P7 also crashes and freezes when I start it and load some model. Solution was to switch preview to SreeD, load a model and then switch back to OpenGL, then it stops crashing for that session.

I noticed the latest nVidia drivers caused my Poser 7 / Vista Ultimate X64 to crash out until I selected SreeD.

My guess would the video drivers are doing something with Poser's Open GL...
