I've been using Poser 6 since it came out, and it's been working well for me. A few weeks ago, it stopped loading on my laptop. I get to the opening screen, and it would just go away - no errors, just kicks me back to the desktop. Now it's doing the same thing on my desktop machine. Yesterday it worked fine, but today it's hosed. I re-installed the whole program, and still the same thing. Poser 6 will no longer run on either of my machines. Has anyone else had this problem?

Thinking about it, the only change I made on the desktop machine yesterday was update my iTunes program, which upgraded Quicktime 6 to Quicktime 7. I did this on my laptop a few weeks ago. Wonder if they're related somehow...

Aha! I un-installed Quicktime and Poser loads! Something in Poser 6 and Quicktime 7 don't get along for me, it seems.

It's probably the QT plugin in Poser6 (ImageIO_Mac.mrw) Look in the "C:Program FilesCurious LabsPoser 6RuntimeImageIOPlugins" folder & either rename it or if you're feeling brave delete it totally, it means you can't export as quicktime or import pct files but it's a small price to pay. Plus you'll see a big speed increase going through the library folders (I do with Poser5) :D

Yep, that was it. I pulled ImageIO_Mac.mrw out of the folder and it started. I guess the folks at CL just assumed there would never be any updates for Quicktime. :( Thanks for the assist!

Typical Quicktime behavior. It's never backwards compatible, so any program that depends on Quicktime programmability will break when you update Quicktime.

The pen is mightier than the sword. But if you literally want to have some impact, use a typewriter
