Have you tried using the Queue Manager? My understanding of render in background (and I could be wrong) is that it is a poor man's way of getting a Local Queue Manager. Back when there was a Pro Version if you had Pro then you can rendered and keep using Poser, if you didn't then you used Render in Background. Basically the same thing except with Queue Manager you can also render on other computers. And there were all types of other reasons to do a background render such as the 4GB memory issue. But since Poser 12 only runs on Windows 10 which is 64 bit that reason is no longer valid.

There is a couple of misconceptions here, P12 can run on Windows 7 64-bit. Several individuals have reported that P12 is fully functional. Render in Background allows you to continue refining and editing your scene while your image 'cooks'. The downside of it is that it prevents you from initiating another render. On the other hand, Queue Manager can handle several renders in tandem while you continue working in Poser. Send your render to QM, work on your scene, and send that to QM as another render. Although you have the luxury to use a second computer for rendering, ATM QM will only render Firefly, not Superfly unless something has changed that I am not aware of.
