Dear Friends,  I come to you all because you guys know about Poser so well, including some tech issues, I tried to get the answers from Daz3d.com but their site is acting weired as of late, I can't post anything.   Ok here's whats happening recently.

It's about Poser 7,  could someone please explain why my poser crashes or freezes, I have over 8 gigs of ram, plus I have 250 GB hard drive, and I use an external harddrive currently around 250 in GB space, I currently have about 114 GB space left, I am wondering why this is happening, I do know I have alot of files I have installed since 2006 so I wonder if that is an issue.  I am using Poser 7 on an external hard drive guys, sorry I didn't want to confuse anyone here.

So is that TTFN or TANSTAAFL?

Open the preferences and on the render tab, check "Separate Process". I used to have the exact same problem with Poser 7.

Oh, and you can set the "Threads" to the amount of cores on your processor.

Poser 7 I believe is 32 bit so about 3gb is the most it can address directly.  You need a later 64 bit version to get the benefit of more memory.

You might check the memory use after Poser 7 starts to see if a huge runtime is affecting memory needs.

Are you using Vista?  My poser 7 crashed on such a regular basis that I couldn't even use it on vista.

My experience is that Poser does not like being on an external drive. By all means store Poser content libraries there but I suggest that you install the main application to C:

Ok, guys I was able to fix it, turns out all the files were in the wrong place, you when you install files, ok, that slow it down, I had to reorganize them all I may still have alot more but for now, it working ok, Lauries info I will try out, Kendra no, I am using Windows 7 Ultimate you need that more vista is horrible and one of the reasons I avoided it, it reminds of Windows ME if you remember that one, I am getting Windows 8 later this week so I plan to get that and another external HD at least a terrabyte drive this time instead of a 500 GB drive.

 Thanks everyone for your help!

Vista has issues with user fikles in the program library. UAC. You can turn UAC off and Poser runs fine. Leave UAC on and install poser in another folder and it runs fine. Just not UAC and c:program files.

I thought win 7 and win 8 had the same UAC as vista ?
