As regards the crashing, it could be various factors. One simple thing to try is to disable all your anti-virus programs, all your programs that look for spyware, worms, etc. You may want to be offline while doing this. Then try Poser. If the crashing stops, enable whatever programs you had running one by one to see which one is causing the crashing. I was running iolo system mechanic, and this caused Poser to crash.
