I guess the problem must be something specific to your machine. I pasted
your polynomial into my PC (Windows 98) and got the answer without a hitch.
I give you a few entries below:

In[4]:=
NSolve[poly == 0, x, 100]
Out[4]=
{{x ->
0.091708830141284216611300718350396795152370833056116265683402868621795\
46896307802}, {x ->

0.1104974690580543250922878414349811254697083774888891658465583347707092\
30}, {x ->

0.1105873420815579159995328338868055252716697659842441890265678531578872\
35}, etc.
