I have all 3 SR's installed. I just got my 8800 NVidia card 2 months ago, went to nVidia.com and got the latest drivers. (before installation, I uninstalled my previous drivers)

I did 2 things to get Poser running again, well 3, actually. I shut down all non-essentail programs running in the background, turned off my cable (no virus protection), took almost half my runtime out and moved it to drive D, since Poser has almost totally filled up Drive C since I reinstalled it there, and I changed to software not OpenGL. (It ran enough to use w/o the latter, but it appeared to help) I have switched back and forth between open GL and SreeD a few times. It is still acting the same, when it's at it's best, as it did before I upgraded my RAM and Graphics card. The whole screen goes gray when it performs any memory functions. I have to wait for it. What's more, it is not saving my files properly. I have made characters and when I look for them with Inj Pose Builder, it can only find 2 out of 8. In any format.

I have heard suggestions from upgrading to an over 100 gig hard drive to  deleting preferances. What really sucks is there is NO SUPPORT from Smith-Micro, because of the date they bought Poser. I guess they feel they never bought Poser 6, since they only support 7. They took down the previous website that had help and fixes on it for Poser 6. If I bought 7 I'd probably have the same problem with the next owner. Plus I have heard Poser 7 has a lot of issues too.

But thanks for your input, RatsCloset. Maybe it can help others.
