I copied poser.exe and poser.rsr from my other computer (which I haven't reformatted and re-os'd, until I finished with file transfers (lots)). I also copied the PREF folder. And then I tried re-installing from the CD and then do an incremental patching (4.02.116, 4.02.117, 4.02.118, 4.02.118a, 4.03). Still no go. Then I ran Poser within the poser directory instead of from the desktop shortcut and start menu shortcut, and whadayaknow... it works. Tried from the pre-made shortcuts, doesn't save settings. Tried again from within poser directory, does save settings. Deleted desktop shortcut, recreate desktop shortcut, tried again. BAM. It works. Damn shortcuts. Oh yeah, I checked Curious Labs web page and there was a note that there was a bug with 4.03 not saving preferences.
