I think my freeze-crashes come about when something begins running in the background while I work with P8.  The hard drive begins to grind, the interface begins to lag significantly, and Poser apparently becomes confused.  The drive stops grinding after a few minutes if I close Poser.  The Windows Task Manager doesn't report any unusual activity, as far as I can tell, and I've tweaked Vista to try to turn off anything I know about which will grind the drive this way.  I assume Poser is the cause, somehow.  I've turned off the 'searchIndexed' listings in the LibraryPrefs.xml, although I don't know if that relates to this at all.

Does anyone get hard drive grinding while running Poser?  Not rendering, just working with the scene.  Could it be something relating to the new library system?  Do I need to increase the amount of drive space available to Poser for memory in some way?

Cage can be an opinionated jerk who posts without thinking.  He apologizes for this.  He's honestly not trying to be a turkeyhead.

Cage had some freebies, compatible with Poser 11 and below.  His Python scripts were saved at archive.org, along with the rest of the Morphography site, where they were hosted.
