Quote - Can you confirm your Poser installation? Where did you install the program? I'm wondering if there is a file protection thing going on with your installation. I haven't come across anyone else having this problem. Windows 7 does NOT play well with programs that read/write to C:Program Files.
I don't know about the OP, but I've got Poser 8 and Poser Pro 2010 in Program Files, but the runtimes themselves are not in Program Files. I installed Poser Pro 2012 simply to the C: drive because of all the hysteria in the forums suggesting that Poser won't run properly in Program Files because of UAC, etc.
What I've found is that it does not seem to make an ounce of difference where Poser is installed. It may make a difference where the content is installed, but I wouldn't know about that since I've been using external runtimes since Poser 5.
I want to add that I'm not sure, now that I think about it, whether or not my intermittent problems occur when I'm loading products from the library... or from a saved .PZ3. It may well be that it's the scenes that aren't loading correctly, for whatever reason. I do not use external binary morph targests or file compression.
I've never noticed a problem with UAC interfering with any other programs running on Win 7. Perhaps I've been exceptionally lucky.
