Quote - Where are P10 and contents installed?  If you followed the installation instructions for Win7, you should be installing P10's content in a separate location, under a share folder in Documents.  Installation into Poser's parent runtime in Program Files will be interfered with by Win7's User Access Control, or UAC, which will interfere with files written within.  If this is the case, you will be looking at a reinstallation.

Yep.

THey should put a flashing red banner in the installation that says

"DONT INSTALL THE CONTENT UNDER PROGRAM FILES WHEN USING VISTA OR HIGHER OR YOU WILL BE SAD!!!"

EDIT:

BTW, you should be able to put Poser 6 on your machine by copying the enitre Poser program directory from the old machine to a directory outside of Program Files on the new one and creating a shortcut to poser.exe.  You can then add the runtime to the new Poser version as an external runtime and not have to reinstall your content...**
