ratscloset - I didn't report it as doing a system restore (after much hair-pulling and muttering) finally resolved the issue.  The problem seems to be due to Mcafee, which froze my computer when I tried to uninstall it (uninstalling McAfee was a recommended fix for the Poser library fault).  McAfee came right back through the system restore but so far it's behaved.  Should I still report this incident?  I would LOVE that this couldn't happen again because of that dreaded McAfee's proprieties.
