I wish software companies would actually put out software that works. I'm in Poser 5's Face Room modeling Judy's head and this little face parameter dial pops up and won't go away and there are no buttons on it to close it, it just stays there. I apply the shape to the figure -- never the texture, because no matter what the textures look like in the photo, Judy ends up looking like something out of a minstrel show -- and then click back to the Pose room to see how the figure looks. That damned face parameter window is till there, won't go away, the cameras won't move, the system locks up and bye-bye Poser 5. I want to reinstall it but am not sure how that works with the security doo-hicky. It seems Curious Labs put more thought in preventing their program from being stolen than in creating a program that works well enough to want to steal. Mike

Mike Read the manual and the pops that come in at each new room. Ron

Oh, is the manual going to tell me why my system freezes and crashes, too?

Hmm, WOW Sounds like you should of read the manual on instalation first then installed. :O)

That happened to me after install. After a few reboots, it smoothed out.... so far.

I had the same problem...reinstalled and that problem seems to have gone away..although I've had a couple of locks since...and 2 or 3 white document screens

Clearly, some of you have not been let in on the secret. Software companies could put out software that works. Sure, an app like P5, incorporating entirely new approaches and algorithms from several companies, is enormously complex. Testing that code on every type and configuration of machine, when hardware, operating systems, drivers, etc. change on an almost weekly basis is almost an impossible task. Almost being the key word. In truth, software companies, especially a small, specialized one like CL, could put out products that are completely bug-free. They don't because secretly, they hate you, and privately delight in your frustration.
