Hmm.
If I had Poser, since I only have 256Mb of mem in my machine, I would likely be able to duplicate the problem.
But I don't have Poser.
*drats*
Oh it has nothing to do with Poser. I just shut down the startup monitor, and I lost my task bar with the firewall and AV showing.. So I did a reboot and everything came on again.
I assume it's my firewall or AV now, because it's back.
