I often leave Poser running overnight on my computer, generally without difficulty, as i am working on a scene.  During this time, my computer is disconnected from the internet.

This morning I resumed work and was moving a figure around when the display window blanked white and the program became unresponsive, displaying that obnoxious swirling cursor thing. Nothing I did was able to get the program to respond.

In task manager I went to the details display and clicked on "analyze wait chain" , it indicated it waiting for some kind of network connection.  Well that wasn't going to happen, I was disconnected from the internet.  So I connected to the internet, not joy.

Eventually I stopped the program via Task manager.

I would like to know:

1. Why does Poser blank the display window sometimes while one is moving items around?

2. Why does Poser need the network at all after the initial start up?   What could it have been doing?

3, Is this a known issue that is addresses by a specific version?

My version is 12.0.340
