I just downloaded and installed SR-1 a couple days ago. Since that time, I've spent more time fighting with Poser than actually using it. When I try to take a render (no matter if it's draft or higher quality), it will get to the end of the render, then lock up. All I can do at that point is ctrl-alt-delete, and start it over again. If I try to do another render, the same thing happens. It will do this for a while, then for no apparent reason, start working again. After 10-12 renders, it will start the lockup nonsense again.

I've looked at Smith Micro's website and not found much useful information there. I've set the DISPLAY>PREVIEW DRAWING to SREED as recommended by SM. I've updated the driver for my video card. Nothing seems to help. I didn't have this problem prior to installing SR-1, which was 'supposed' to improve the stability of Poser. It seems like it did just the opposite.

It's pretty discouraging to try and learn how to use Poser when all I end up doing is repeatedly having to restart it, or reboot my computer to get it to straighten up and work right.

I'm running Poser on a Quad-core CPU at 2.4 ghz with Win XP SP3, 4gigs of RAM, with an Nvidea GeForce 7600GT card, with two 320-gig drives, so it should be able to handle the load - and as I stated earlier, it did not exhibit this lockup issue before SR-1.

Now, it seems to be working again. But who knows for how long......

Any ideas? Anyone else having this problem?

Thanks..
