I have run into an odd bug or issue with Poser Pro 2010.  Sometimes, the program appears as if it has crashed, being unresponsive. When this happened, I was forced to kill the process and restart the program. Often the unresponsiveness would happen again as soon as I'd start the program.

Then I started looking for other processes that may interfere, and found that if I closed Rundll32 Poser Pro 2010 would work as it should the next time I started up. Then I realized that when the program stops responding, all I have to do is to go into the task manager and close the Rundll32 process, and it responds again (no restart of the program needed) It seems to happen most often when I start another program, while PP is already running, like Chrome or such. 

Has anyone run into this as well and know of a solution of what may be causing the interference?

You have hit the nail on the head. Poser (actually the Adobe plug-ins) and Chrome do not play well together.

Meh... So would another browser work better, like Firefox?  I like Chrome because it's fast and uncluttered, but in the best interest of Poser it may not be such a good idea then.

Yes, there is something about the way Chrome installs copies of Flash and/or Air that conflicts with Poser. The first time it happened, I went nuts trying to fix it. Even reinstalled the OS. Luckily someone here pointed out the issue. Ever since I uninstalled Chrome there have been no further issues.

Chrome has it's own internal Flash that it uses rather than any installed version. you can set it to use the External instead. ( see here - http://lifehacker.com/5705588/how-to-get-the-flash-102-beta-working-in-google-chrome you just use the instructions there to disable the Chrome folder plugin) it is suspected - tho not confirmed - that if you run both the external flash (such as Poser or Firefox) plus Chromes internal at the same time, they can conflict.

personally I turned off Chromes internal long long ago...

as to Air which is what 64bit Pro uses, I don't know if Chrome affects that.

Ah, that's a really good suggestion, Khai.  I'll try that. :)
