I started rendering an image yesterday.  Now, 20+ hours later, I don't know if it's frozen, finished or still rendering.  :(

Because I'm rendering at a larger size, I can only see the top left hand corner, which fills my workspace.  And while an image is rendering I'm pretty much locked out of doing anything...I can't use the cursor to move the view/image, to see how far it's gotten.

The rendering bar is completely filled in (and has been for hours), but I've found that doesn't necessarily mean it's finished.  I've had this problem before and when I finally decided to hit cancel (thinking it was done but maybe just stuck/frozen) it turned out that only 3/4 of the image had rendered and so I had to start all over again.

I've checked the Windows Task Manager and it says that Poser is still running (usually when this happens it says Not Responding), so I don't know what to do!  I'm afraid that if I cancel it now, I'll find out that it was almost done, and then I'll have to start all over again and have wasted 20+ hours. 

Is there any way at all to check the image to see if it's actually finished, or at least see how close it is to finishing??  Like I said, as long as that rendering bar is still up I can't do anything, or click on anything.  I have no cursor...just the hourglass.  :(
