I believe this definitely has something to do with the internet access... I switched to AIR and it completely locked up... no loading the library at all tried several times and then (by the way when I say tried several times, I mean I closed poser and opened it again each "try").... then I opened it again with the internet disconnected and "boom" I had the libraries open. Tried again to confirm and it opened no problem... shut down Poser and opened it with the internet on and the libraries would not load... it just hung.   I switched back to the previous set up and  did an internet disconnect test again and the libraries will only load while disconnected.

I'll leave it as "embedded"(Flash-or Docked) as it looks neater and I don't use external runtimes... This is weird, I guess till I solve this or it "heals" on its own, I'll have to start Poser with the internet off.

Very weird.
