Thanks guys for the your wonderful advice and insights....

I did played around with the Preview tab option and I got the best response by selecting "Enable Hardware Shading".... go figure!!!

going this way, preview screen is extremely fluid and pleasant.... However, I am still struggling with moving individual characters... it takes 5 to 10 secs. to select the character and takes even longer to move w/ cursor!!

When I brought up tje CPU, originallyCPU usage were almost non-existant... but when I tried to select a character, here is what I observed... the First CPU bing overloaded!!

I am thinking that with Poser Pro being a 32 bit program, it can only access the first CPU and hence the overload on one CPU...and hence the reaosn for slow response???? any thoughts?

Thanks again for your valuable insights...

Cheers
