Quote - Hi - just installed SR 1, and it seems to be a disaster.  Am running the runtime under the program files, which are on D:Poser8.  [...]
What should I do? move the runtime out from the program files area?   

No, you shouldn't. This may only be a problem if Poser is installed inside Window's Program files folder (and then only with with UAC on Vista and newer). So your setup is not affected by that.
What you should do is contact Smith Micro.
