I haver a Alienware PC, with Windows 7 and a 2 T hard drive

I have Poser Pro 2012 and Poser Pro 2014 on my computer and they have been working fine.

I heard Vue 11 could handle inports fine. I ordered Vue 11 and installed it. I set up the poser import in Vue and tried importing. Poser imported, but the texture was terriable.

I put things aside for a day and when I went into poser today, poser pro 2014 would not start. I got a message that said; "Poser Pro exectable file has stopped working".

Since I also had Poser Pro 2012 alsop installed I tried starting that program and I got the same massage "Poser Pro exectable file has stopped working".

I uninstalled Vue 11 and tried opening Poser Pro 2014...It didn't work same message.

I uninstalled Poser Pro 2014 and reinstalled it. When I tried opening it again I got the same "...exectable file has stopped working".

I don't understand why Poser Pro 2014 and Poser Pro 2012 both have problems with

their "exectable files" at the same time I'm without any Poser!!!

Anybody have any ideas as to what might have happened? Can anyone please help?

 

You probably had Internet Explorer 11 installed at your last shut-down - Poser doesn't like it. There's an update for PP2014, but not yet for PP2012 - you can uninstall IE11, and MS does have a tool to stop it downloading in future, or if you can manage without 2012, at least for now, you could update PoserPro 2014.

I have Explorer 10, does your suggestion still apply?

I have seen people post "Poser Pro exectable file has stopped working" error. In the posts they found it was caused by the library. The library uses Adobe Air or Adobe Flash. You could try uninstalling them. I am not sure if that would help. You probably will need to work with Smith Micro support.

You should contact support for sure however, I should say that if you have Poser Pro 2014, you do not need Poser Pro 2012. Everything that was in 2012 is in 2014 but updated. It's a redundancy. 

I don't really know what I'm talking about, but I had a totally different issue (harware installation) wiht the same effect as yours i.e. it affected ALL versions of Poser I had and caused them all to crash upon loading, before even the serial number and user name had appeared on the splash screen.  I eventually tracked down the culprit, a small program which monitored when the new hardware was plugged in, via Task Manager and was able to disable it, after which Poser launched and ran each and every time.  It wasn't an ideal solution, but it at least it meant I could run Poser until I got it fixed. 

It might be worth using Task Manager to see if Vue has installed a Startup process which is conflicting with Poser.
