(Cross posting on PPro as well) Hi all. I got my P6 box and naturally went and installed and had a blast. Not a single problem (ok, it ran out of memory once 0.o) So this morning I sit down to render, open P6, load IC2, go to apply a texture and WHAMMO. P6 just closed. I blinked. Then I went to do it again. Same result. In fact, this happened with any figure I loaded. Didn't matter what it was, the moment I tried to load a texture via 'Browse' the whole thing shut down. I played with the opengl settings. It got WORSE. Now I just had to switch rooms and it shut down. So I went on a mission... I turned down Hardware Acceleration. I ended up turning it off completely - P6 worked. Well. Turning it off was simply not an acceptable option. Besides, it had worked on Full the day before so that couldn't have been the problem all of a sudden. I uninstalled Poser and reinstalled. Tried again, same result. I wracked my brain, trying to think of what had changed since last night. Then it hit me. I installed Quicktime 6.5.2 last night to get my webcam to work. I uninstalled it... Opened P6... Acceleration on full, OpenGL on... Guess what...? P6 works with no problem at all. I've sent the trail of the 'Bug' to CL, hopefully they find a way around this or find out what's causing it... but if you have that problem of P6 not letting you do anything and closing all the time... Check if you have Quicktime installed. I don't know if it's just that version, but taking it off is what cured it for me.
