Some kind of rights issue, maybe?

Please elaborate.

I've occasionally had issues with Windows 10's super aggressive security. You can no longer have a runtime where Poser's main runtime used to be (in Program Files) without massive headaches.

Even when you have an external runtime, there can be problems. I think that was the problem I had. I kept getting "access denied" error messages. Even though my runtimes, including the default runtime, are all on an external drive. I'd try again, and it would work, but it was a pain. This problem appears to have been fixed with the reinstall. (Of Poser, not of the runtimes.)

For awhile, I also had to run Poser as administrator to get it to work right, though I haven't had that problem recently.

Sometimes I really miss Windows XP.

Another thing I've occasionally had issues with was where the temp files were. I don't know if it's a rights issue, a space issue, or just a speed thing, but I've found Poser runs a lot faster with the temp files on some drives than on others.
