This may or may not have already been addressed but I NEED help with P7 crashing.  I have been using P7 for a while now without any problems whatsoever up until yesterday.  I had to reinstall my system (Windows Vista Premium), and while that all went off without a hitch, it was time to reinstall Poser.  I did so, and restored my runtime, ran Poser and it seemed fine until about an hour or so in to my session, Poser locked up, crashed and I got the default answer from Windows about Poser.exe has stopped working.  Of course, I was upset, so I closed it and rebooted (to be safe).  Went back into Poser and this time, it crashed much sooner.  Since this event, I have:

Uninstalled Poser
Reinstalled Poser (including re-downloading ALL patches, SRs, etc.)
Ran Poser with everything set to default

It crashed again, just by opening a default figure...

I went to E-Frontier and read about the Poser preference file and how it may become corrupt, so I deleted the files and re-ran Poser again...

crashed again...

I wrote to E-Frontier and got an instant reply from Smith Micro about them addressing the issue and to check the forum, so i click on their link and I was taken to a forum that had nothing to do with Poser.

I am, to say the least, very frustrated.

I have a legal copy of Poser, running the latest drivers from Nvidia for my 8500GT series video card.

Hopefully, someone can help me out.
