well this just started this week after installing some new content... anyone else have this happen when they start poser? (it doesn't occur anywhere else, just for poser).  if i hit continue/cancel whatever it pops up a couple times then goes away and poser seems to run fine, it's just annoying.

and speaking of annoying WHY THE !@#$ did SmithMicro rename the EXE file?  lots of little apps and content that looks for "Poser.exe" now don't work.  I can rename the exe and then rename it again later but im afraid that might be screwing something up... not to mention its a pain.

anyone know if can PERMANENTLY just rename it to poser.exe and no harm done?

thanks!

I just made a copy of the file and renamed that to poser.exe. This way can keep using the original name with PPro and any app that looks for poser.exe will still find it.

thats a fantastic idea, just did it.

I have this problem too! It occurs also when starting up my PC in the morning. After a few clicks it's gone. What is this?

Now I understand why so many props-attachments are not working!

Can you explain in detai what to do? Would be immensely grateful.

i think that must be something else.  for me i NEVER see this error unless im starting Poser Pro.  there is no other situation where it comes up at all.

so it's a poser issue

Searching the web shows that this is a Windows issue that occurs under various conditions, and not a Poser one. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be an obvious cause or solution.

well since it doesn't exist outside of starting poser that seems really strange...

Take a good registry tool and clean up your registry. Broken paths, dangling .COM entries, and mis-associated extensions can do the funkiest things to your system. Poser both installs and integrates with various things in your system (like quicktime, or other codecs) and can demand memory sectors that other things wants. If just cleaning doesn't help, then uninstall Poser, clean it all out, and try again.

I think I wil do the latter since I do practically each day a reg clean up.
Maybe I have to extend my memory since I run quite a number of graphic prgrams. May be my
graphic chart is not good enough. After all I am going to split graphics from the rest.
In any case thanks for the advise.
