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.
