Thanks for your input folks.  As I stated before, my pc ran Poser just fine up until this latest reinstall of my system.  What I found was that I had forgotten to update my video card drivers after the reinstall (went to Nvidia to get the drivers and NOT let Windows Update find them for me), so I did that but of course, i still had probs with crashing, so i actually found a snippet at E-Frontier about doing a "clean" reinstall of Poser, which meant running my machine with a limited startup, uninstall and reinstall of Poser w/latest updates, reboot to normal startup and now, things seem to work just fine.  I think what the other prob was, is that before I reinstalled my system, I backed up my Runtime and I think something in my runtime was causing a conflict of some sort.  I didn't copy my runtime back to avoid issues but I did spend the greater part of my afternoon reinstalling content...what a pain the butt.  I ran Poser after I installed a "limited" amount of content, just to see what was up (some of the content consisted of the new V4.2) and things were stable.  I left my prefs at default, so i will do more trouble shooting this eve as in changing my prefs in Poser and installing more content.

Thanks again for the suggestions.

I just had a problem come up a few minutes ago that has me screaming.  I launch Poser, open up V4 and as soon as I move the camera, she disappears!  If I change cameras, she's there again, but when I move the new camera, she disappears again.  I closed Poser, reopened Poser, even loaded a different figure and it is all the same.  One minute the figure is there and the next POOF!  Anyone have this problem or knows what is happening?  Maybe it's a bug and the new release will help!

This is highly annoying at the very least and I really can't even work with Poser now since this has JUST started to happen!

Please, any help would be appreciated!
