Will do!  Thanks!

OK I will try your suggestions, thanks!

Thanks!  I will check with Smith Micro.  You're right, I bought the products.  If they don't work, I would never buy Poser 10.  

Other programs are fine, thanks.  Now I'm forced to use Poser 7, because Poser 8 and 9 constantly crash.  So discouraging!

Hardware probem?  You could be right.  I also hae a new HP laptop, and am going to try using it instead of my (pretty new) Gateway desktop, which I hate.  Thanks!

Quote - I had trouble with an ssd drive awhile back that made poser crazy.  Crashes etc.

Turned out to be hardward, not software or windows at all.  I don't know if this is a possibility for you, but very hard to troubleshoot software problem when it turns out to be hardware.

 

Glad you got your color back :)

I do have the latest SR, thanks!

Poser 8 still crashes.

OK I reinstalled !DAZ and got the color back in the V4 morphs!

Quote - oK I reinstalled !DAZ figures and got the color back in the V4 morphs! Thanks!

 

Quote - I belive Vicki is her own install.  Reinstall her.

Perhaps she is just reading the news and all the color has gone from her...jk.

If you are crashing after reinstalling, you may want to go to Smith Micro and search their knowledge base.  I don't have Window 8, so I can't help much with why IT doesn't work. 

I have had decent tech support from them, after creating a ticket.  It takes about 24 hours...a lifetime when you want to do some work in poser, but...it's worth a shot.

 

I would also look at EVENTS in windows.  It may give a clue to why you are crashing.  You say you "crash" but you don't get an error message?  Is the machine just locked up?

You "could" also try to update video drivers.  I dont know why search would be affected by this.  Shouldn't.

You need to become a software detective.  Try to find an error message, or ask SmithMicro to help with the problem.   They may have already experienced it and resolved it.

No, sorry, there is an error message...."Poser has stopped working. Windows is trying to find a solution."    But it never does.

Thanks, but it also does it when I'm not rendering, like maybe starting a search.  It says Poser is not responding, and Windows will try to find a solution.  But it never does.

BUT HELP!  I just reinstalled Poser 8 with updates.  When I first opened Victoria figures, I had to find BlMilWom_v4b.... which I did.  But all the color is gone in Vickie (seems ok in Michael).  I'm asked to find Null.  I found it but can't open it.   

I just went to properties for Poser 8 and 9, and changed to admin.  we'll see what happens.  Thnks!

Quote - First thing to try, is simply reinstall it.  That actually may help.  Second, you might want to make sure that Poser runs as an Admin.  Right Click the icon, or start menu Poser item and look at properties.  Shold be one that says Run as Admin.  

You may be bombing out on Windows security feature, path not set or you cant write to a certain directory because you dont have priveleges.
