The latest version of the software is designed with the latest version of the Drivers for the various Video Cards. This is why you should have the latest Driver. With few exceptions, if you are using Poser 8 with SR3 and have a driver from early last year, you will want to update.

NOTE: It is not just the software. Sometimes the OS updates things that require a new Driver. This is why you should always keep your driver up to date. You can check the Readme. In some cases, if you have an older card, you will not need to update, because the update does not have any new files for your Card.

Drivers sometimes get corrupted. ATI and nVidia, both, have released some bad drivers in the past. You may just need to remove the device from your system using Device Manager, reboot, let windows find the device, then only install the latest Driver. That may fix the issue.
