"I have an Athlon XP (1700+) with 512 MG memory. Plenty of hard drive space. Running Win 98A. I have been plagued with crashes, error messages, slow downs, etc. I reinstalled Poser 5 and am still have trouble. Sharon" Get rid of 98 as soon as you can and put on 2000 (or, if you prefer for some strange reason, XP, but 2000 has fewer problems). 98 is a pile and that is likely the source of your problems. Besides, it can't even use all of that ram. It uses roughly 192 megs and no more. And 98a (pre-98SE) is particularly full of really ugly bugs. I'd wager Poser isn't the only thing crashing on your system.
