Attached Link: Hard drives Issues.

> Quote - 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?

Well I'm not expert..but usually that sounds is something wrong with your HD.

Ah! When we have MANY adds-on ( all the freebies etc..for Poser)  in one o maybe several 'runtime'.. can cause the program to go nuts../ simple my dear Watson; 'stuff from many different desktops in one place together, can generate different behaviors from the host' )
