Under XP notepad can load any .CR2 no matter how big. I use it all the time. Poser doesn't crash the system if you cancel out of loading a .bum. It just takes Poser FOREVER to figure it out. I have a 2gz machine and sometimes it can take 30 seconds or more. Just wait...don't do the three finger salute. Not necessary. The 'newer version' message is only an annoyance, not a problem. Just okay the dialog.
