That did the trick. Thanks!

I installed both Poser 9 Service Release 3.1 and Poser9-SR3.2_win.

When I click the poser shortcut I get a message saying, "An error occurred importing addon dson" and then a message saying “poser executable file has stopped working - a problem caused the program to stop working correctly”.

When I log into a different user account and start poser it says the same message about dson, then poser loads and says please find ground.obj and please find milkmanandy.cr2.

Poser9 will load when I choose a different account on this computer but it doesn't know where the ground prop or Andy are at, and it won't allow me to see any library.

I must have done something wrong because poser crashes faster now. I cut and pasted the poser4 folder to the documents. At that time poser9 started fine so I imported the new poser4 location and then  the library would freeze up and the program would lock. So then I uninstalled poser9 and reinstalled it with the runtime going to documents, and now when I start it up I get a message about dson and it crashes.

Quote - A big recommendation concerning Win7 and Poser runtimes.  Any content installed into Program Files will trigger UAC (User Access Control) which will interfere with Poser function.  This is true in Vista & Win8.  Poser 9 has default installation guidelines, place the application into Program Files folder but create a share folder under Documents for content.  By installing content in such location and keeping other external runtimes away from Program Files, you experience no UAC interference and no crashing.  

I might have to give that a try. Seems I spoke too soon. Poser loads now, but after adding a few low poly characters and doing a few renders, it does the same crash. It always crashes at the begining of a render after a few others have been done.

Well that did the trick.

I just installed the newest SR for poser9 and now it seems to be up and running. Gotta say I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

I would like to extend a "thank you" to all who helped in this matter.

Quote - Do you have all the SR's installed?

And where is your Poser4 runtime installed?

Pretty sure I have some SRs installed, tho I may have missed the latest if a new one is out. The Poser4 runtime is in Program Files (x86)/ Smith Micro/ Poser4

Thanks for the link. Now that you have refreshed my memory, I recall that I've done plenty of disc checks on older computers but never on this Win7 one.

Ran a check and Poser9 still crashes.

Quote - Those look like read errors from files in your temporary directory.  I suppose the Reby Sky installer could be corrupted, but that wouldn't explain why Poser wont run.  Have you run a disk check? 

I've never run a disc check before. How do I go about doing that?

Quote - Did you use the default installation for Poser 9 for Win7?  Placing the main app into Program Files folder and the content into a separate share folder under Documents?  And where did Reby Sky get installed?

It all installed at Program Files (x86)Smith MicroPoser 9. Reby Sky installed to my poser4 runtime. All products I buy go to the old runtime.

I uninstalled/reinstalled a second time and got the message - an error occurred while trying to read the source file: -AppDataLocalTempis-G8GKJ.tmpPoserCasual.tmp- does not exist.

On the third time it said

Unable to execute file:

AppDataLocalTempis-U82H8.tmpvcredist_x86.exe

CreateProcess failed; code 2.

The system cannot find the file specified.

Thanks for the replies.

Well if they sell it to new buyers you should get something for it, yes? I for one plan to buy it.

Is it only available for people who bought the pirated version? Or can new users buy this legitimate product?

And does it work with Aiko full or just AikoLE?

Personally, I think she should have stopped in December 2004. The difference over the next year is not an improvement.

Yes anorexia needs to be addressed. But one can only hope Nicole Ritchie and Paris Hilton would both at some point vanish.

I missed it I think. I don't see a whip anywhere.
