Nowhere in your description did you say you rebooted. You said you ran Poser, and exited and the system was slow. Then you uninstalled P8 and it wasn't slow anymore. That's without rebooting - just an uninstall?

What if you leave it installed, run it, and reboot. Is it still slow?

While it is slow, with Poser not running, what shows in task manager for processes, and CPU usage? What about network usage without Poser running?

What antivirus did you install?

Also, install Poser 8 but do not add any old runtimes - what happens?

Both installed and uninstalled, I told technical support I was constantly rebooting the computer. I did that after every action to clear the RAM, just in case something got stuck.

Prior to system reinstall, I had a Vista gadget monitoring CPU's and and memory, and there was no unusual activity. Task manager showed nothing that shouldn't be there. There was no network usage as I said I hadn't yet installed any networked software, and was only connected to my router.

I don't understand your answer. You didn't answer my question.

You run p8. It is slow. You exit P8. Your system is still slow. What does task manager show? Not your interpretation, I mean show me.

Then reboot. Don't run P8. Is it still slow?
