Poser 9 stopped working, possible Python issues?

Harbadix

My Poser 9 has all of a sudden stopped working, when I try to start it up it just crashes with not erroro message other than a general one saying Poser execcutable has stopped working ( this is on Windows 10)

I sis some trouble shooting and found the following message

An error has occurred importing addon python shell: Error dll load failed: the specified module could not be found
An error occurred importing addon shaderworks script menu: Error DLL load failed: the specified module could not be found

Poser was working fine the last time I used it a week or so ago and the only thing I can think of that I've done involving Python since the last time I used it was install SimTenero Randomizer for Daz Studio ( which works fine ) I have tried re-installing Poser 9 and bot h the service packs but get the same mesage.

Can anyone help?

Darkmagi -- I experienced a similar problem with my Poser 10 on a Windows 10 computer. If the program stopped working like a day or two ago, it's because of a MicroStinks update.
