If you close Poser down on the Mac and then reopen it soon afterward, you may receive a message that another instance of Poser is already running or still shutting down. This may be due to a lock file that was left after restarting.
To remove the lock file:
1. Open Finder.
2. Go to the location where you want to see any hidden folders.
3. Click the COMMAND-SHIFT-Period shortcut combination.
