Crashes are not Normal. If you are having a Program, including Poser Crashing, something is corrupted or not configured correctly. I encourage everyone that has issues such as this to Contact Support. You can put Attention John in the Subject and I will try to respond to your issue.

Here are some general tips..

Corrupted Preferences. Removing these often resolve weird issues with Random Crashes.

Drivers... If you get a crash when a new window opens or when the screen refreshes, check your Driver. These are often Video Display issues and can be corrected with the latest Driver, or switching to SreeD.

Updates... make sure your Operating System and Software is up to date. Always reboot after installing Updates to confirm there are no new ones based on the Updates just installed.

Settings... some settings need to be changed in Preferences is you use DAZ3D Figures, such as turning off Use External Binary Morphs.

Other Settings... If you get a crash during Render or at the end of Render, try changing your Render Tab Settings in Preferences by checking Separate Process and changing the Threads to the number of Cores you have to no more than twice the number of Cores.

Window Users can use MSCONFIG to look for possible Conflicts with third party Applications, Mac Users can use Safe Boot. Often this will help you identify a conflict and allow you to adjust the settings for the Third Party Application to allow Poser to run correctly.
