The problem I have with Daz studio is not that it runs poorly. I accept that my machine may not be sufficient to run it. My problem is that after several downloads , it installs with no errors but then simply does not start.   The event log on my system states it had an abnormal program termination. 

Three emails to Daz support were never answered. So I gave up on it ever working for me.

I run win xp and Poser 7 , Visual studio 6 and visual c++ 2008 and python 2.4 and 2.7 on the machine and thats all, no internet connection on that box.
