Now, I am swell with Poser, and anything it can toss my way on Windows ME....but, Bryce, on the other hand does the "hang up dance" alot. It does help to shut down your system....for at least 2 minutes...Don't ask me why, but simply restarting does not necessarily clear out the M$ mem bugs. Then, save often...and reboot, often, as well. But, remember Poppi's 2 minute rule on shutting down. Hope this helps.
