Hi, yes sorry I did install the 4.03 poser update for large memory etc, and also had that installed on my old desktop. My current new laptop is running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit, whereas my old desktop was running Windows XP Professional 32 bit.

I will try to get a screenshot together but basically, I just open poser to a blank scene, then load in the business man character. (This issue happens with all others but this is the easiest way to demonstrate). Then, I move the mouse over many different body parts, just hovering without clicking, to produce the highlight outline of the potentially selectable body part/element. For most simple parts the highlight is instant, but with the head/face since it is slightly more complex, the highlight takes a couple of seconds to "draw" and you can see it actually tracing over the outline pixel by pixel before it completes. With other more complex figures that have more vertices, this highlight delay can take up to 30 seconds or more, but it's observable already in the business man's face on my system. And this never happened on my XP system.

 

I also have Poser 6 installed on my new laptop, and it runs fine with no highlighting issues etc. However, when I use the "Poser 4 render" option, it takes MUCH longer to render than does actual Poser 4. For example, an absolutely blank scene with no figures renders in under 10 seconds under Poser 4. But under P6 using the Poser-4-render option, it takes 30-40 seconds!! This is even with all optional choices disables under settings. I have no idea why this happens either.
