Recently I have become plagued with bizarre error that has me completely dead in the water. It works like this: Any time I import any millennium or other rather complex cr2 figure into my scene, the hourglass stays on for much longer than usual, then the title bar of the Poser window starts blinking like crazy... and that will go on for hours without ever loading the figure. Poser becomes unresponsive at this point and I have to manually end the process. I've tried patching Poser to the latest PP service pack, reinstalling PP, rebooting, etc. I also uninstalled Pboost in case that had something to do with it, but nothing I try works. Any ideas? Thanks, Brian

You might have a virus. Maybe you should check?

well i reinstalled completely from scratch on a different hard drive: poser4, then poser 4.03... then tried loading some files and got the SAME glitch! this is really frustrating, as all of this works fine on my laptop, which has the exact same poser setup and configuration, and even the same 13 gigs of runtime folder. will i have to buy a new computer to fix this bug?! my laptop is just too slow to handle the newer millennium figures, so i really need to get back to work on my desktop. poser was working FINE last month, i have no clue where this came from. i ran virus scan and spybot and found no problems... this is getting insane lol, i can't add any CR2 to my scene without poser crashing now.

Ok here it what I did: I copied all my runtime poser stuff to the D drive (it was on C the boot drive at first) then I reinstalled everything there after uninstalling everything on the C drive. Poser still didn't work. Then I deleted ALL the remaining poser files on the C drive, and now it works... somehow the poser volume on D was still referencing buggy material that the uninstall forgot to delete... or maybe a virus or something I couldn't find. Anyway, my D drive has more space and I should have put it there in the first place. Thanks for the response though, I'm glad to finally be in the clear.

Yes, at least it is fixed now.

It`s probably not a virus it probably was still referencing partly uninstalled stuff.
