This is happening to me too. Same things. Freezing when conforming clothing or ANYTHING that requires you to answer a dialogue box (cancel/ok). Like Taryn, a clean reboot helps it temporarily but it starts up again.

I've defragged my hard drive, cleaned up old files, deleted my poser preferences. Rebooted my computer. When I opened poser back up even after rebooting my computer this time and went to reset my preferred state (by getting rid of Simon), it froze up again when I had to confirm the deletion.

Also, I am running on Windows XP. It ran beautifully until last week. That's when all this started.

Now that I know I'm not the only person having this problem, I'd really like to know what the heck is going on.

Quote - These dialog boxes can be hidden behind other things or outside of the screen. Depending on the version of Poser there are different solutions. A reinstall will only work if you really wipe everything related to Poser from your box (including register entries and obscure directories). Different versions of Poser store these things in different locations. It sometimes helps to minimize Poser. Remember DLL files in the Windows directory are generally not overwritten when you do a reinstall.

The dialogue box is not hidden. You can't even click on it. Clicking the buttons doesn't do anything but show you how frozen up the program is. Also, minimizing poser makes ZERO difference. All it does is sit there and I am betting that the OP has the same experience.

I've only ever had Poser 7 on this particular machine and have never uninstalled/reinstalled it. I may try a full uninstall and reinstall but I am betting money it won't fix my problem.
