oddly enough i had it working fine and dandy..fiddled and tested a couple of renders and then POW! it went fubar again! LOL

really cant be bothered to go through the whole SM file a report card and wait for days til you get the same old: update your drivers, check this and that....
its on my pc in the office so ill have a bit more of a fiddle tommorrow....
my win7 64 bit system is hammering Poser 7 just fine, in openGL mode as well...shrugs ill figure it out one way or another.

had the same with Poser 7 when it first came out; and if i recall poser 6 as well..the joys of OpenGL and Vista/win 7. checked the FAQ's at SM and i see the same old answers as well...remove your settings, update your drivers; stab a pencil in your ear til you see god!
