If this happening is while you're rendering, it isn't entirely bad - you want your render to finish ASAP, so using 100% of free CPU is good, but on the other hand it makes just moving the mouse and stuff really uncomfortable. PPro2010 does this by default as well. What I do is make a modified shortcut to start Poser at a lower priority:
Right click the icon you use to start Poser
Change the Target line to:
C:WINDOWSsystem32cmd.exe /c start "runbelownormal" /belownormal "C:Program Files (x86)Smith MicroPoser 8Poser.exe"
(or wherever you have Poser.exe installed)
Poser will run exactly the same when you're not doing anything, but if you move the mouse or open another app, it will be given lower priority when requesting CPU time - this happens thousands of times per second for all apps. I find it really unpleasant to try to use my PC at the same time a render is going unless I run Poser this way.
