wow thanks y'all I so appreciate this!   I spent the better part of a month trying to get my 11 to work again and finally gave up! Humble Bundle has Version 12 for sale right now for 25$ but based upon your feedback it sounds like upgrading to 13 is where it is at.  I invested in an RTX 4070 i9 13900 intel laptop (I currently use a lot) and RTX 3060 Ryzen 9 5900x AMD desktop I am working on--I am not really sure how well Poser and AMD (new to AMD) will play together but we'll see.  It has been nearly 6 years since I actually rendered anything with Poser due to all of the blue screens, crashes and and now serial upgrade issues.  I am so glad to see Poser is receiving some love as I find it much more fun/user friendly to use than the "other" software out there.

Thanks again!!
