Jeff--because of some things Steve Shanks said below (see my thread about texture map for morphed dress), I believe I need the patch also and was just going to look for it. Since you know where it is--the manual one--would you mind posting the URL?? I'm still unclear about what installing it will mean--the reason I've piddled around about getting it, I guess. Any tips appreciated. See--when Chris says something like 'Try to install the patch'--that makes me wary LOL. BTW, I got a C exception also when I added one shoe last night after the morphed dress. I think I can't avoid upgrading G. Diane B
