Imagine that, a problem with Poser 5... I'm currently running my system (Win XP Pro SP2) on SATA RAID, Athlon XP 2000, (NOT a 64). When I had Poser on my standard ATA drive everything ran pretty well. I moved everything over to the RAID drives and for a while things were OK. But I recently reinstalled my OS for a clean system. I installed Poser, then ran it. Or rather TRIED to run it. I got as far as the very first screen before loading plugins. This is all with SR 4.1 BTW. I still have the old drive installed on my PC, so I installed Poser there. Started up and ran fine. Then I went and connected to the Runtime that's on the RAID drives. Initially things work OK, but after exiting Poser and starting it up again later, it no longer loads again. And if I copy some files to the old drive that doesn't work either. The total of my current Poser file collection is too large to fit onto the old drive. Anyone else have this happen or is it just me? Suggestions? Going to DAZ|Studio is already top of my list of ways to get rid of this problem..among other P5 problems.

I've had P4, PP and P5 running on my system for about a year now on a SATA RAID 0 setup, no problems.

I have run P4 and am now running P5 on a Raid 1 Volume. I have a P4 2.8 and an Abit IS-7 Motherboard. Have you seen this post?

Yes, saw it, tried it, did not help at all.

Do you have the latest BIOS for your mootherboard and/or SATA controller?

Yes, everything is up to date.

What kind of motherboard and raid controller do you have and how is your RAID Configured (0,1,5 etc)? Are you getting any disk errors in your System or Application Log for the RAID Volume?

Gigabyte GA-7N400 Pro2, Silicon Image 3112 chipset RAID-0. No errors.

NTFS or FAT32?

NTFS of course.
