Hey gang; I've been running into a rather frustrating problem lately with the Poser Pro Material room. When I select a texture with the eyedropper, it for some reason now freezes up for several minutes with a huge amount of HDD activity (sometime going 3-4 minutes being unresponsive). If you select the surface from the list, it is fine. This behavior started about a month ago; I figured it was my runtime being bloated, but it does it even with small runtimes. Any thoughts?

You could try reinstalling the latest graphics driver as it might have been disturbed by a Windows update.

I think it may actually be the graphic driver itself now that I think about it; seems to me it started doing this after I installed the last one. The computer I use it on is a Thinkpad T500 with the "switchable" ATI Radeon/Intel graphics (I usually have the crappy Intel graphic chip turned off and only use the AMD/ATI graphics, but it still requires a driver written for it).

That is about when my PC started acting the same. I have a Nvidia card, but the same computer symptoms.  That is when Micro-brains hit us with some kind of "Restart required" update. I reinstalled the graphic drivers and it's working more stable now. Damn microsoft and the horses they screwed us with. :laugh:  They only THINK their are kings.
