Have you installed the latest Poser 8 SR?  Poser 8 out of the box presented stability problems for many users.  The current SR seems to have helped with that.

When I was having P8 stability problems, SM customer service had me update my video drivers, which seemed to help a bit, until the SR came out.

Cage can be an opinionated jerk who posts without thinking.  He apologizes for this.  He's honestly not trying to be a turkeyhead.

Cage had some freebies, compatible with Poser 11 and below.  His Python scripts were saved at archive.org, along with the rest of the Morphography site, where they were hosted.
