Well, i´m here hoping that someone could help me with this issue.
What is happening is that when i open Poser the Library window would stay minimized, lsmguiair.exe is there running(yes i´m using Win7 X64 and PP2010 X64), i can see the library window down there at the task bar however even if i click it it won´t maximize, if i close it through Poser itself and open it again, it still won´t come up, it won´t come up even if i kill the process through task manager and start it up again.
Other things i have tried:
1 - Uninstall Poser, Restart and the Reinstall it again
2 - Uninstall Adobe Air, Restart and the Reinstall it again
3 - Uninstall Adobe Flash, Restart and the Reinstall it again
Damn, i´m getting crazy here, does anyone have a clue about what is actually happening?(No SmithMicro wasn´t helpful, they don´t have a clue)

Thank you for the links(i saw those threads before) however, the issue is not the same, the other guy was experiencing problems with Poser main Interface while i have problems with the library window which in Win7 X64 is not a child window , it is an independent application(lsmguiair.exe), and that´s a real pain in the ### because that little bugger doesn´t have the mxaimize, minimize or restore options if you right click on it neither it will respond to the keyboard shortcuts...

I'm confused because the AIR GUI does have minimize, maximize, restore, etc. on the taskbar button. Maybe Win7 is making it behave differently.
Perhaps this will help.
Sometimes I have two displays, and I move the library to my second screen. Later, I may run my laptop without the second screen, but windows does not put everything on my main primary desktop, even though it is supposed to do so.
However, if I go into my NVidia control panel and explicitly set the display to single screen, the library is moved back into my primary display area.
If that doesn't help or is not applicable, then try the following, and you must do this EXACTLY as I say. Do not re-interpret as in "Oh I thought you meant hold ALT" - ready?
Click on the taskbar button for the library GUI. This will make it the current window.
Tap the Alt key.
Tap the space key.
Tap the 'm' key.
Tap the left arrow key.
You are now moving the window with both mouse and keyboard. Without tapping any buttons or keys, move the mouse around. You should be able to bring the window back into your primary display.
Once you have it back, press the left mouse button.
Note that this is a problem with windows screen management, not with the app.

You could also try going to Task Manager and just right click on the Library application and select "Maximize" or "Bring To Front".

Thank you BB,
That actually worked, it was not a problem with primary and secondary display, but, i´m pretty sure you were right when you said that it was a problem with the way windows manages the screen(s), plus, i must add that when the library window was brought back it was resized to a minimum.
Thank you you for the advise LostinSpaceman, but, i had tried that already and it didn´t work.
Thank you very much
