Hello everybody. I'm a macos user who just upgraded to Jaguar from 9.2 because i want to use mimic 2 and they told me X was needed. So, i turn on Poser 4 within X and i notice some strange things, it works fine but just some minor graphic bugs. For example The Menu bar is totally white instead of Black like it was in 9.2. and the windows have this inner border line. Why is this, can it be fixed? also overall Poser 4 seems to load figures slower when in X, or so it seems( i may be crazy). anyone?

I had no idea that it would work at all in Mac OS-X. According to curious labs who promised to have an OS-X version of Poser 5 out by the end of June (Whoops, lloks like they missed that deadline- the rat bastards!!!), Poser 4 is not meant to be run on the Mac OS-X at all, unless you are running the OS-9 emulator which personally I refuse to do- I moved over to OS-X and there will be no looking back for me... Anyhow before I digress too much here, I am one amazed that you are able to get Poser 4 to run at all on OS-X, and am now inspired to try it myself in spite of the minor technical errors you seem to be getting with the interface (Something personly, being and Adobe bare bones interface enthusiast, I've never liked, and can't imagine actually getting anyworse) amd two just hang in there there is hope on the horizon that Poser 5 will be avalible soon and thus you won't have to worry about Poser 4 problems anymore- Just a whole new bumper crop of bugs and glitches, but at least OS-X supported ones.

Poser4 caused trouble under 10.1.x (like many other applications, since the "classic" box was still beta quality) but that got fixed with 10.2 which is very stable with OS9 applications. I haven't been able (yet) to crash my OS-X with a OS9 program, but I did crash OS-X various times with OS-X applications... LOL! :-)
