Ok, another question I got here, this started back on the 18th but I noticed that for some reason when I run poser it freezes on me when I try to open a file or closes right away could this be because I need more ram or is it because it needs updating, I mean I uninstalled and reinstalled it and noticed that, the program ran well at first until I started adding some freebies I needed to use and it act up again.

Any solutions??

Uhm, we need more info.

What version of Poser? What service pack? What are your computer specs? What OS? Without that, we can't help you.

IT'S PROBABLY YOUR CAPS LOCK KEY

Poser 6, xp, 765  mb ram on a  dell 1200 series.

update it and get more ram. but it still may be unstable. YMMV.

Is there a site to get the updates at??

I think it is the ram issue I know it.

The english, windows versions

Thanks alot FrankT. I'm going to the site now.

Thats weird I tried to find it and there's tons but not the right place to find it.

Hello, I was running poser a couple of months back when when I,
#1 would open a file it would crash and #2 when I would try to save
a file it would crash. I was running poser 6 and had XP. I started all
of a sudden and I could find no cause for it except it started after
I had done some security updates for XP. When I would back out
the updates through system restore, poser would work alright again.
When I reinstalled the updates, it would stop working again. I
then backed out the updates and reinstalled manually the updates
that I thought would not interfere with poser and bypassed the rest.
It has been working fine ever since. You might try to system restore
back to maybe to the 10th to the 15th and see if the problem 
stops. Hope this helps you.

Another thing to try first-based on what happened to me just yesterday. 

I was attempting to render a simple figure, no clothes etc-suddenly Poser would simply vanish and I had my start up screen with me icons starring at me waiting for me to click on one of them.  The problem was the V4 hair, not all of it but just two of the bangs-when I disabled "them" bangs, everything rendered perfectly, then I piled on the clothes, shoes--everything was fine.  So, I tried the hair on another figure, same crash.

Bottom line, render the figure without the freebie, then begin adding bits and pieces of the freebie until it fails.

It is not the author of the freebie's fault, it could be that a tiny part of the program was dropped during the download process or is scattered all over your disc and when you loaded it, some tiny 1 or 0 was dropped, your computer caught it and said what the ----- and gave up.  This problem occurred in PSP, Carrara, and me McAfee Quickclean tool, the lost file fragment cleaner-hit that portion and wham ye olde dissappearing act.  Plutom 

Poser 6 is stable, so long as you have the latest service packs. As I recall, when it first came out it was as stable as a tower of jello!

In my experience, it's always worth checking your video driver. Poser uses OpenGL, and the drivers supplied through Microsoft, with the XP CD or through Windows Update, have poor Open GL support. This seems to be a general problem with graphics software, not just Poser. I used Poser 5 with the amount of RAM you have, but I didn't get Poser 6 until I had 1GB. RAM generally is cheap at the moment, but the big drop has been for the types of RAM used in currently produced hardware.
