I really  hope so that Poser Pro 2014 is running. I buy it when the German version after waiting now months is coming out end of November.

Problem are the elder Poser versions.

As I pay much more for the German version because you don't get those discount offers you get for the English versions it is really anyoing when the elder versions do not work.

I have items with fur which are made for earlier versions and will not look so great in the higher versions.

But perhaps somebody is coming up with a hint or trick to get Poser 8 and 9 working.

I really don't understand that the elder versions don't run, when Adobe programs as well as Paint Shop Pro do. I have programs installed prior to 2004 and they run without any problems.

I think only 64 bit Poser works. Problem is WIN 8.1 and I would revert to 8 but I have a brand new machine with a WIN 8.1 CD ROM installed.

Good that my WIN 7 machine is still running and I would not even upgrade my WIN 7 machine upgrade to WIN 8.
I have now hazzles with the new Corel Paint Shop Pro X6. Only the 64 bit version works but does not show most of the filters. But can not start the 32 bit version as possible with Photo Shop.
So best is to wait with the update to 8.1 until the have the bugs out.

with WIN 7 all programs are running. Even very old PSP programs. But the SR3 patch should be applied.

I have running in WIN 7  Poser 8, Poser 9 and Poser Pro 2012.

WIN 8 only 64 bit Poser Pro 2012 ist running with correcting library - Air - 0 to library - Air - 1.
The workspace is terrible. All very small and hard to read. All other programs like Paint Shop Pro have the same size of the work space.
Poser Pro 2012 is very slow and I guess when I really work with it it will crash.
I am still waiting for Poser Pro 2014 German coming out. Promised for middle of October and now for end of November.

All other 32 bit programs are working in WIN 8.
I would like to use up and then Poser 8 and it is very unkind that Smith Micro is telling that they don't support elder programs.
In Win 7 your Poser programs should run all but you need the update patches.

You are the BEST !!!
I just installed Poser 8 on my new system and it did not open. Could not open the executable file. What means I could not even type the serial number in.
Read back and forth in google and nothing and then went to the Rendo forum and found your answer.

Do you have a hint to get Poser 8 working either???

Quote - And of cousrse, Poser crashes so you can't switch to the external library.  In your Poser.ini file, (in C:UsersUSERNAMEAppDataRoamingPoser Pro9) make sure this line is there:

LIBRARY_IS_AIR 1

Set the value to 1 if it is 0

That should (I think!) enable the external library...

When you don't have a good eyesight it really drives you mad with that white on the blue background. Yes ... first I felt I am at DAZ where many things did not work a long time.

Yes ... a second that ... the site had been great as it was and it was a pleasure to search and look for things. Now it is awful and it is not good to view with all that white, I always preferred the look and feel from Rendo and now I had been in shock this morning. This is no fun anymore.

Never touch a running system ... DAZ made that experience and I hope you will make the site again reader friendly and not flashing the white in the eyes.

All the little things you did the last months had been great like showing how long things will stay on sale and the dayly deals. But this had been no good idea for people who like to search for hours on Rendo. It makes the eyes tired. When you must have a new look do the whole site in white or change it back as it was. The windows at the right are too big and all is overlapping. Before Rendo showed elegance in the look, precious and classy ... now it looks like all the other shops selling various goods.
I am really sad that Rendo does now the same as DAZ did and I see no benefits for the user especially the buyers.
Last POINT ... all graphics where made for the prior look and many lose now on white background.
Look at the postings here ... It looks all so much better on a dark background with text in light color and the pictures look so much better either on that background.
