first did you install to the program files folder ? for win 7 thats not a good option because of UAC.
did you right click on the poser.exe file and tell it to run as admin ? I had to do that for vista.
there are some other threads about where to install Poser for vista and Win 7.
Best seems to be to install it outside the program files folder where UAC wont get involved and to set the program rights to be Admin.

UAC interference most likely, as markschum mentioned. Isn't P7 under e-frontier?

I've had issues with P7's exe on and off since the last SR. Sometimes the only way to fix the issue is to back up your runtime, uninstall it and do a reinstall.
I think it has to do with the Poser 7 installing to the eFrontier folder in your folder tree and then the last SR changing short cut and some other registry entries so that Poser 7 shows up in the Smith Micro start menu folder rather than the eFrontiers. This is the only Poser SR that does that.
Don't bother sending to SMS tech support about it. You will get a polite response that they no longer offer tech support for Poser 7.
