I'm contacting SM support as well but I thought I'd ask here:
Since maybe yesterday night, Poser 8 fails with the following message in the Library window:
FAULT Detected!
[FaultEvent fault=[RPC Fault faultString="HTTP request error" faultCode="Server.Error.Request" faultDetail="Error:[IOErrorEvent type="ioError" bubbles = false cancelable = false eventPhase=2 text="Error #2032"], URL:http://127.0.0.1:11530/apps/lms/api.py"]messageId="E986DC5F-331C-3282-08E9-7318984E4C72" type="fault" bubbles=false cancelable=true eventPhase=2] --- Fault Request Info:

• Not running a firewall
• Yes my Internet connection is up (here I am on the web page)
• I am fairly sure my Internet Explorer install is a bit borked, it started to auto-delete cookies at about the same time.

edit: Poser actually doesn't die after this error happens, just the library will not start (almost as bad).  I looked at the SM support page for "Library does not start" and I don't think this is the same problem.  Also reinstalled Flash for IE, no help.
