starting in "safe mode" was an interesting exercise. As Poser was loading, a warning popped up that there was no open port for the library. Check firewall and internet connection. When Poser was fully loaded and ready to rock, the library was just a big white box with nothing in it, which means you have to be connected to the internet to use Poser. So how would someone use Poser that does not have a live internet connection?
This also means I will have to have a virus checker running. Ichose to not have networking in safe mode, but could have chosen with network...will just need to make sure the V is active too.

In safe mode, the memory commitment was 72meg ... right now with my normal boot, I have 468meg commited. That's a big difference, and becomes a huge difference in Poser operation with hi res textures, etc.
