hello again.. I just got my brand new computer and without hesitation I installed Poser 5 Right off. After installation finished.. I tried booting poser.. and all that did was send my new computer crashing.. (sniff tear).. After some investigation, I figure out that Its Poser and SP2 specific.. (GO FIGURE) So On the Curious Labs Website I found This.. figures I had to go High-end AMD-64 =c P .. Anyway.. I was wondering if anyone else has found a solution to this problem. I can not uninstall XP SP2 as it was integrated into the version of windows I purchased.. Please help.. BLAH .. I love microsoft Below is the message from the Curious Labs website. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~* Recently we've seen problems cropping up that stem from Windows XP Service Pack 2's implementation of data execution prevention (a security feature designed to help prevent some kinds of Trojans and viruses from executing)- on 64-bit AMD-based machines in particular, installing both our Service Release 4.1 updater and Windows XP SP2 prevents Poser from launching. We're working towards a fix for this, but for the moment we urge high-end AMD-based Poser users to hold off on installing SP2 until we can get a new service release out. If you have installed SP2 and require its features, you can run Poser in safe mode; this is not a convenient solution but it should allow Poser to run.
