Last night Poser support was helping me troubleshoot the problem, and after many failed attempts to fix the issue I, personally, have come to the conclusion that Poser 10 just isn't going to work with my Windows 8.1 hp Phoenix Envy system.

Shouldn’t it just be as easy as it was when I installed Poser8 for the first time, or Carrara Pro (Which I passed up for this)?
