I know alot of you use Poser and Bryce together so here goes, I click on Poser the thing loads up, then the entire window disappears, gone, vanished, not in background, foreground, underground, no where to be found.... Does this mean I don't have enough memory to load it? ram or harddrive? or is it something else? anyone heard of this? I did a repair and still no luck....=(

Gee Zhann, it sure sounds like lack of mem. Same thing happens to me when I have too many things going at once with 3DS Max, it loads but the interface never shows up. If I click on the desktop shortcut again it tells me it can only run one session at a time but no interface. I then reboot and Im able to multitask with 3-4 other programs. Poser for me is as slow as molasses through a straw. I can sit there and watch roots grow out of the bottom of my screen. Sorry Im not much help.

I had a problem with bryce disappearing like that when I was trying render a really large scene with really detailed textures at a really large size. Can't help you with poser, though, or how to fix the problem, my solution was just to stop trying to render at that size.

Ctrl+Alt+Delete and see whether the Poser process is running. If it is, right-click on the taskbar and choose Cascade windows. Windows might have misremembered the window position and moved it off-screen. If the process is not running, I'd recommend a complete removal of Poser, cause something is whacked. Deinstall the service packs, deinstall the program and then go through Registry (Start -> Run -> type "regedit") with a fine comb (Ctrl+F for Find, F3 for Find Again) and remove every mention of Poser. Except where it says MRU List or similar, cause that's just history lists and are not important. So, PZ3, PZ2, CR2, PP2, hair files, Poser file, Poser location, Python, anything and everything that's connected to Poser has to go from the Registry. You'll (off the top of my head) find them all in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software. Take care not to delete something important, cause it might have adverse consequences. When in doubt, leave alone. When you finish, reinstall.

I had poser start shwoing up off screen, or just enough off screen that I could get to it, for a little while. I would go with Erlik's suggestion of CTRL/ALT/DEL to see if it is running....I'd look in the app window first because if it loaded up off screen it should still show up there. Then I'd look in the process window.

I had that start happening with my windows media player. I had found that obviously some random weird thing had happened, and yup, when I checked my taskmanager, there was my wmp listed as many times as I had clicked it trying to make it work. I restarted my pc, everything went back to normal. AS
