The old Poser Pro is Poser 7 with upgrades, yes. If P7 works, PPro should as well.

Earlier I thought you were talking about Flash and AIR, and my response was regarding those components.

Now we're talking about IE. It is not required that you use IE as your favorite/default browser, but the HTML rendering component of IE is connected to how the Poser library is displayed in Poser 8 and you have to have it installed already, because SM is not allowed to re-distribute it.

Poser 8 requirements, as published by SM, for Windows PC are:

• Windows 7, Vista or XP
• 700 MHz Pentium class or compatible (1 GHz or faster recommended)
• 512 MB system RAM (1 GB or more recommended)
• OpenGL enabled graphics card or chipset recommended (recent NVIDIA GeForce and ATI Radeon preferred)
• 24-bit color display, 1024 x 768 minimum resolution
• 2 GB free hard disk space (4 GB recommended)
• Internet connection for Content Paradise
• Windows® Internet Explorer® 7
• Adobe® Flash® Player 9
• DVD-ROM drive (physical product only)

Internet access is not among the listed requirements. Please bonk anybody on the head who says otherwise in a forum. Forgive my impatience but I (and others) have been fighting this discredited meme for years now and it will not die despite the clear and unambiguous corrections made over and over.

Note also that if you have Poser Pro 2010, and are using the AIR version of the library, then there is no need for IE or Flash 9. AIR is standalone.

Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
