The file is a file I created in P5. It does not matter how I open the file, whether from within Poser or out. The screen disappears as soon as I answer, don't save, to the file I am currently in. The file was saved by doing a file save. Yes I have the SR2.1 patch and the figure patch. I believe I have resolved the issue by doing a uninstall/reinstall. Yea!!! <- meant sarcastically However, if you have any further suggestions, I am interested, just in case it comes up again. Thank you for your response, Ren
