I uninstalled AVG virusprotection  and switch on windows defender. Poserpro 2014 library now works without any problems.

There's got to be a way around this. lol

  You're right, turning off AVG worked!

There's got to be a way around this. lol

*I hope so, I was always rather satisfied with AVG, I remember there was an error message about it when I upgraded to windows 8.1. I hope they will fix this. I notified this to SM, but I don't think it's their problem.

Anyway, I'm glad poser is working again. :thumbupboth:

I just talked to AVG on the phone and they said it was Smith Micro sprava Lum and Smith Micro will have to come up with an upgrade for their programs.

I wonder if we are the only two people that are using AVG and Poser, they will come with an upgrade, but you'll never know. I hope so. Thank you for calling, it's a little too late for that here in holland.

Yeah, I'm contacting thim as we speak ;)

It's seems to me Poser works now faster than before the upgrade, and it is more stable without AVG. I had some serious crashes when I was rendering and browsing the library at the same time. BSOD level!

Well, tell them they have a problem with windows 8.1!

I downloaded and installed AVG2014 tonight, to see if that would fix our little problem, but nothing changed.

I guess as follow

firewall prevent,adobe flash player no install,no unzip the file,if win7 as the administer after unzip.

I'm off to bed now. It's two o'clock here and I have a busy day tomorrow.

Goodnight everyone.

Have a good night! BTW, SM just contacted me and said that P10 WILL work with the paid version of AVG. lol   I have the paid version. It doesn't work.

Okay, SM says it's AVG fault, and AVG says it's SM's fault, and to contact the other for help.

 Smith-Micro did say that the exceptions needed to be set up in AVG to allow communications.

"Most likely, you need to update the exceptions to allow for Poser 10 location. AVG, from what I understand creates rules that are specific to paths. Poser.exe is the application name since Poser 4, so the path has changed, but the application is the same. Contact AVG Support Staff for help in setting up exceptions."

Does this mean anything to anyone here?!?!

Thanks, WandW, but I couldn't figure out what, exactly, I needed to add to the exceptions list. I added and removed everything that I could think of, but nothing helped. I contacted AVG, but they wanted $50 to hand over the info. lol

Do you know what to add?

If adding poser.exe and possibly the folder where you keep your content folders didn't work, I don't know either.

I've used the free version of Avast for many years (just don't let it install Google Toolbar and Chrome) and had few issues over the years.  It does pop up a little ad for their servicves when you logon, but it's not too obtrusive.  I've heard Windows Defender works well too...

 I actually looked into the Avast program last night. I liked what it had to offer, but I still have a lot of time left on my AVG paid program (June of 2014). I wonder if the paid version of Avast would block Poser as well?

bopper - WandW, I think I figured it out!

 I was trying to isolate the problem this morning. We knew that turning off AVG wouldn't allow P10 to function correctly, but who wants to turn off the entire AVG anti-virus? So I turned off the resident shield only. Nothing changed. Then I turned that back on, and turned off the Surf-Shield. Poser10 worked great with Surf-Shield turned off! Then I shut down P10 and turned the Surf-Shield back on, and for some reason started P10 again, and it worked. Now AVG is giving full protection and Poser10 is working perfectly! With AVG at 100% protection, I have restarted P10 4 to 5 times and it works great!!!!

 I guess Poser10 needed to make that first good connection with the internet to establish a working window, and now AVG is allowing conectivity between the two.

AWESOME!

And to think AVG wanted $50. lol

Which version of AVG are you using? I upgraded to 2014 yesterday and my subscription is running to june 2014, so it's a waist to change to something else.

I'm currently running 2013. Did you try out what I found?

I have to reïnstall it. I tried everything yesterday evening, but I couldn't find what was blocking Poser. I will try it and let you know if it works.

Please do. I'd like to know if it works for you too.

IT WORKS! :thumbupboth: :thumbupboth: :thumbupboth: Great job!

That's fantastic! It's good to know that we could get this issue resolved. If you hadn't noticed the primary AVG issue we may still be scratching our heads. LOL

Good job to the both of us!

I agree to that! Where's the champange?

:biggrin:

Be sure to let SM support know...

That was the second thing I did

Perhaps they give us champaign

They should. I was seriously considering asking for a refund. lol  I was told, prior to making the P10 purchase, that P10 would work with Windows 8.1. When it didn't, I was, to say the least, quite frustrated.

Frustrated is an understatement, I almost pulled out the last hairs I have left: I had Poserpro2014 working perfectly and suddenly it stopped, but as I said, it works better than before so I'm happy after all.

I was going crazy because, despite setting my updates to manual, IE11 was still loading. Here's a link to a MS Tool Kit that blocks installation of IE11
