Poser 7 did not use Flash. The Exe error normally was due to corrupted preferences.

There was also the issue with the Virtual Store getting corrupted for users that had their Libraries in Program Files folder. If that is the cause, you may end up having to reinstall content. Make sure you install to a Public Folder (Library linked to Poser) not the application in Program Files to avoid that in the future.

One other issue that could cause this was a bad/broken redistributable from Microsoft. Normally if that was the cause, there will be a details link and you will see the culprit file referenced.
