Quote - oK I reinstalled !DAZ figures and got the color back in the V4 morphs! Thanks!

 

Quote - I belive Vicki is her own install.  Reinstall her.

Perhaps she is just reading the news and all the color has gone from her...jk.

If you are crashing after reinstalling, you may want to go to Smith Micro and search their knowledge base.  I don't have Window 8, so I can't help much with why IT doesn't work. 

I have had decent tech support from them, after creating a ticket.  It takes about 24 hours...a lifetime when you want to do some work in poser, but...it's worth a shot.

 

I would also look at EVENTS in windows.  It may give a clue to why you are crashing.  You say you "crash" but you don't get an error message?  Is the machine just locked up?

You "could" also try to update video drivers.  I dont know why search would be affected by this.  Shouldn't.

You need to become a software detective.  Try to find an error message, or ask SmithMicro to help with the problem.   They may have already experienced it and resolved it.
