Okay, a little recap on what's happened so far:

1. Poser10 opens and no library showed upon opening (5 seconds give or take).
2. After accidentally leaving Poser10 open for around one hour "Transactions Pending" & "In Progress" numbers appear.
3. After 4 to 6 hours of leaving Poser10 running, "Add Library Folder" allowed me to navigate to my DAZ Runtime and select it. Side Note ~ After selecting my runtime folder, nothing showed in library window, and the selection window reappeared in the center of the screen again. I figured that the runtime wasn't accepted by P10 so I navigated and selected it once more. When I clicked "OK" a small window appeared telling me that that particular runtime had already been added.
4. Still unable to see library files, but able to select "Search" tab and search for items by name. Also, P10 will now open pz3 files made with P8. This tells me that P10 is, in fact, reading my DAZ runtime folder.
5. P10 allows me to now set my "Preferred Scene", and will load it each time I open P10. Still no libraries show in library window (DAZ or Poser10).

 This entire even took approximately 12hrs to complete, and after that I needed some sleep. The interesting thing to me is the amount of time needed for these events to take place.

So, what would make Poser10 run so slowly?

What makes or breaks the viewing of the library window contents while P10 is actually reading them (tabs, buttons, etc., etc.)?
