Poser is, to say the least, a very complex piece of software. I believe that sometimes, Poser "trips over its' own feet" because of its' complexity. If you are "feeding" it too many commands (i.e., mouse clicks), too fast, the program doesn't have time to "clean its' own house" and tries to do too many things at the same time. No matter what clock speed processor you have, the CPU can only execute ONE instruction at any given instant. If it is "interrupted" in an awkward place in the program, it "hiccoughs" and winds up in "never-never land" and you get the infamous "Caught Exception C: blah, blah, blah...". I've had very few crashes or lockups and I believe some of the conflicts had to do with the sound card and video card. One significant change I had to make was to configure my video card to 16 bit color. Trying to use 24 bit color created many problems (including funny looking text in some parts of RDS5). Try changing some of these parameters (ONE AT A TIME ! ) and see what happens. Good luck. cheers, dr geep
