As I said, I installed Poser 5, then the SR1 figure patch, SR1 full patch, and the current SR2 patch, in that order. My computer is a Pentium 4 2GHz, with 1024 MB ram, and two 60 GB hard drives. Video card is a an Nvidia Geforce 4, with 256 MB video ram. In addition to the total inability to get most of the camera controls to work, I've also noted that P5 takes about five times as long to load as Poser Pro. (I've tested the other cameras, ie, Top Down, Side, Face, Hand, etc, and none of them work. It also happens to any of the figures I've tried to load, including props, and whether or not I open the Hair, Cloth, or Grouping windows.) Since it appears that whatever is happening is due to some strange interaction with my particular machine, and that I'll end up having to do some odd thing to "work around" it, I've decided to avoid the problem completely. I've uninstalled it, and it will stay that way until Curious Labs have released a few more patches. I have better things to do with my time than figure out how to work around serious bugs in basic functions, especially since the only part of P5 that really interested me was the dynamic hair and cloth. I've already got Bryce and Vue, so I don't need the Firefly renderer. Thanks to everyone, and sorry for the inconvenience. Katoran
