That's not your process list - that's your application list. But that's ok. I'm only interested in finding out of Poser 8 is still running after you close it.

Look in the Processes tab to see if the Poser process is still running, after you close it.

But since things are working right, it isn't important. I only want to know if things are slow during and after "closing" Poser. But they aren't slow now, eh?

So close Poser. If all is not well, don't uninstall. Run Task Manager and see if Poser (process) is still there. But only if it isn't working right.

If it is working right, close Poser. Now try running the content installer.  Don't do anything else.

Then open Poser again.

Does it seem OK?

Close Poser. Still OK? etc.

At no point, never, ever, copy any runtime ONTO your new Poser 8 main runtime. There is more than just content - there is program stuff in there. If you ever copy over something from Poser 7, you'll trash Poser 8. You want to add external runtimes only, even if we're talking about Poser 7's main runtime. To Poser 8, that is an external runtime only. Clear? No copying one runtime onto another.


Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
