Poser - OFFICIAL F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Nov 21 6:06 am)
You've given us some info, General, but maybe not enough. Where did you install your Poser content? W7, as Vista, does have issues with apps installed into Program Files folder. If you search the forum, there are countless posts about this subject. It may explain the intermittent library function. If this is the case, my suggestion is to either shutdown UAC completely or move your Poser installation into its own folder on your core drive.
OK, sorry I should have given more info.
Win 7 64 premium fresh install, then
All updates (for windows and explorer), and newest NVidia Driver available.
Zone alarm pro, AVG antivirus, Firefox and Poser Pro 2010.
UAC is off was turned off as soon as the updates were installed.
Poser and firefox are on a different partition from the OS, and the Runtimes on another a Drive.
Hardware is a phenom quad core 64 bit, 8 gig ram, and 9500 Nvidia card gig of ram. HD drive space is more than ample.
I have read as many of the posts about issues with the library that I could find (most were UAC and I knew that short coming before I installed thus shut it down among other reasons too), but I know there are more a read ages ago but couldn't refind now. I have played with this for a week before I posted, and I am either missing the gold mine post, doing something stupid in win7 (I had hacked xp to bend to my will, I know little of 7 yet.)
What seemed to be odd was the not even the icons for figure, pose, material, klingon tooth pic, etc load up. I have waited overnight and still nothing.
Now since then I have added more programs to the mix but I know on the fresh install I had issues.
I choose the old style install (third one down) and place it on another drive. If need be I will get one of the add on library managers though I was happy with the 32 bit version in xp, but that will not solve the whole issue, because I can't add my runtimes, and from what I read the library managers won't add them either that has to be done in poser library.
Since my first issue I have updated flash on explorer and firefox (long shot), I have ran checks on windows libraries, to make sure they were as they were supposed to be, I have installed and reinstalled poser multiple times. I have tried installing it while standing on my head, still no go.
Just my $.02:
Windows 7 is a bit schizophrenic at times when it comes to file transfers (and anything in c:Program Files* - where ASLR and DEP kick in the tightest). OTOH, this probably isn't the cause here.
A couple ways to get around it is to find poser.exe, right-click it, and select the "Compatibility" tab. In there, you can make Windows 7 pretend it's XP, Vista, or whatever. Fiddle with it a bit.
Though before you do that, you can also select the "Run this program as as administrator" checkbox, apply it, and see what that does for you.

OK, I got used to the 32bit library (flash I think), Now this 64 Bit poser (air I think) Library is either giving issues or it's windows 7. I'm new to windows 7, refused to deal with vista, so it may be something simple.
The library seems to not fully load, once it functioned correctly, but every other time it has giving me place holders for the icons, or not even that. Most times I can't see any runtimes.
Any ideas on what I might be doing wrong or what I can to correct the situation?
