Quote - 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.

These machines come with McAfee LiveSafe security suite.  Did you tell  it to allow Poser access to the internet?
