What Jim said. These error messages indicate a lack of thought on the part of some merchants. Anyone selling a product should always ensure that it will work in all versions of poser. And the easiest way to do that is use the lowest common denominator, which is poser 4. In fact, DAZ insist that version numbers should be no higher than 4.0 for brokered products. It's a small thing, but as you've no doubt found, quite annoying. As for Freestuff.... well, it's free, so I suppose we shouldn't be too ungrateful. mac
