OK, first of all, if Poser stops converting the .jpg's then either Poser is garbled, or (more likely) it is a QuickTime problem, because it massively uses the QT kernel to import the textures. Therefore, it could be a problem with *too much* memory for Poser: If you allocated everything to Poser then it may be too little for the system to "breathe", and if QT tries to open a huge file it fails and throws back an inernal error message. As far as textures go, Poser will never tell you about internal errors and just continues as if the texture doesn't exist. So the first thing to try: Check your (physical) memory size, check the partition that you allocated to Poser and make sure to let several MBs available for the system for additional services. Otherwise you could do this: get GraphicConverter and my SpeedBump filter set from www.soft-rabbit.com, open the .jpg in GC, convert it to "Poser4 bumpmap" and then save it from GC as .bum (there is a selector popup for this). Then run Macinstaller to adjust the references to the newly created .bum files, and then everything *should* work fine... :-)
