Yay! Thanks, everyone! I just had the same problem- no charachter, white screen, freezing on renders. So I turned the VM down. (Bloody poorly engineered piece of digital don'tgetmestarted....) At that point, I thought, okay, I have two choices. One, burn my computer, move to Nepal, sit on a mountain and eat Yak. Two, search the Poser forum to see if anyone else had the same problem. And here it is! I thank you. Tibet thanks you. The Yaks really thank you! ;]
