I have been approached by a person here who is going to assist me in trying to figure this out. I do appreciate the support that has been given here...and even in Farside's defense...even though I think he or she is a twit, the point about being naive is right on...I am not, and in fact have spoken to CL about returning Poser 5, and we have an agreement in place.... However...I have been using Poser since version 1, and I consider myself a pretty loyal fan of the product, and really want to make Poser 5 work on my system, and other's that may be seeing the same thing. Perhaps my approach here has been in the form of whining and bitching, I will apologize if that seems to be the case, but where else but the Poser forum to get helpful advice. Yes, I can ditch Poser 5, and I would expect my cash be returned, even if it is not CLs policy to do so, condsidering they admitted it was rushed out the door with content not in, and "non-critical" bugs present. CL tech support has not returned comment on any of my bug reports, thus I am forced to come here for help, which is usually the better place to go anyway, because these are the folks actually using the program...they have worked around many issues, and have found things that cause problems. I'm at least willing to give it a go, unlike Farside who apparently has it working, or probably didn't even buy it... it is my usual policy to not buy software until its been out awhile, for this very reason, but as a loyal Poser fan, I jumped in right away...its probably another reason I'm so pissed...at myself as much as anything for going against my usual software buying deal.
