Ugraded today from and Athlon 1.33MHZ to Atholn XP 2000.. That's should be about a 25% boost.. I was soo excited.. thought the hour glass would disapear... well guess what it was still there.. ever time I'd go into the library.. it be there for upto ten seconds... Raised the priority to high in task manager.. didn't help... then as a last attempt went to control panel,system, perforance... and adjusted.. xp for best performance... all the fancy windows, went back to the win 98 look and feal.. but no more hour glass.. been working for over 3 hours.. haven't seen the hour glass even once... before the change.. every couple of minutes..for 5 to 10 seconds.. I thinked it workded.. So it looks like poser's non-standard GUI conflicts with XP's non standard GUI.. Solution... get rid of XP fancy GUI.. by turning it off... and for those who think P5 sucks..and Judy looks like an alien.. check my Judy out..

Heh, thanks for the tip. This did speed up the hourglass/watchhand when moving around the libraries for me. So much so that I don't see the hour glass unless I'm navigating to a large folder of items, then I get it for only a few short seconds, not the up to 30 seconds it was taking before. Well I don't think P5 sucks but Judy still looks alien to me.... :)

Interesting suggestion. I'll play with that. :) Thanks. Judy IS an alien. P5 is the devil I love. Phoenix

Ah yes, Clearing out and turning off the XP crap is the first thing I do post install. I have an XP syle menu bar, and shadow on desktop icon text, and nothing else. Your pic looks OK, nice hair, but I'll still take posette over Judy any day. later jb

I'm on Win2K and it doesn't have any of the WINXP crap, and I still get the hourglass. However, I posted a solution to this a long time ago. (see link) It is a CURSOR BUG that CL needs to fix. -Tim

I went to check out your solution, but when I click on your link, it takes me to the renderosity home page. Is that where you tip is? Kevin

It shouldn't ... that is bizarre. Try cpying and pasting the URL into your browser address bar maybe. -Tim I just tried it and it works fine for me. Hmmmm.

It's because (I think) it's a lik to arthur.renderosity.com, and if you're not logged in to arthur, you have to log in before viewing the message. Try this one.

Or you can do this... Right click the shortcut to poser. Select properties. Select compatibility. Check "disable visual themes" and click OK. XP will not longer try to overlay its interface on Poser.

Scifiguy - Nice Tip!
