 Hello, if anyone can advise on the following please. I have used Poser 7 for years, worked fine out of the box. Upgraded to Poser 8, but have strange things happening with various controls.
Example, moving the trackball even just slightly will send whatever model I have in the workspace spinning !, or, if I want to adjust the position of the model with the move tool, if I touch the spacebar, the model disappears off the bottom right of the workspace ( always use this combination in Poser 7 without any problems ).
Any idea`s why this is happening ?
thanks.

Mac 10.5 Intel  Core 2 Duo, two 24 inch displays 8 Gb Ram

Check General Preferences>Interface and make sure the 'tablet mode' box isn't checked (unless you're using a tablet..)

 Thanks, but yes, I use a Wacom Intuos 3 widescreen.

Have You installed the latest Service Release?   SR2.1

 Yes, but has made no difference, whenever I click with a tool in the work window ( move rotate etc )
the movement is over amplified, making it almost impossible to use directly, but only through the parameter dials. Poser 7 by contrast as mentioned, operates as it should, so I tend to go back to 7 as I usually don`t have the time to mess around with 8 - very frustrating, and disappointing - just wish I could figure it out. Read through and through the manual, rechecked the preference settings, but it seems to be a permanent fault with my copy of the software I think. :(

The normal fix for this is to uninstall and reinstall the Drivers for the Wacom Tablet. If that does not resolve the issue, contact Tech Support at Smith Micro...
