I'm suspecting that part of the problem is that P5 may not recognize the .png format that Poser switched to for the thumbnails and hangs up when trying to read them to open the file... previous versions to P6 used .rsr extensions for thumbnails. Try converting with

rsr to png converter

I don't know if it converts backwards ... but it's worth a try.
