Hey guys, I don't know why, but Poser 12 has recently slowed to a near stand-still. Immediately after loading, it can take seconds for a single button or menu to respond, even with an empty scene. The library takes seconds PER ICON to display. Opening the material room is excruciating, and the program crashes with almost no activity. Here are the steps I've taken to isolate the problem: System restart Full hard drive scan Chkdisk for drive errors Check drive fragmentation - 0% Uninstall and reinstall of latest v of Poser Install latest graphics card drivers Full virus check with ESET online Check and empty temp folder on windows drive Check windows drive for trimming Check windows processes (windows service:web manager running at a about 2-3% nothing else active but Firefox - 1 or 2 tabs open).

All my other programs appear to be running normally. But Poser is completely unusable. But here's the kicker Poser 11 is also acting the same. I'll load a single figure, move the cursor over a body part and it seems normal, then I click the part, and it locks up for a few seconds and the whole screen takes ages to refresh. The fact that both versions of Poser are affected, suggests something in common to them but nothing else. DAZ Studio runs fine, 3D Studio Max runs fine which implies no problem with Open GL or Direct X drivers. Recent software installs: Plants vs Zombies from Steam 1 Poser file to test auto install Update of 4K video downloader and ad block for firefox. Uninstalled adblock.

Anyone else experiencing similar? Anyone got any suggestions please?
