Like Gebe mentioned Bryce Presets are no good for Vue. So, if all the errorneous are Bryce Presets, you might as well delete them. Other possible situation (most case), either the texture map is missing or corrupted ... like wabe mentioned. You can get rid of those too. I usually pick my poison from download area, download, check in Vue right away, if it is good or I like, I place it where it belongs. It's a bit time consuming, but very organized order and saves lots of headache at later time. I also use WinXP pro; that thing itself is a theme park. So many times I had loading or reading errors in Vue. All I did was saved my work, closed Vue and open it again. And then it works fine. If the Freebie is in working order and Vue supported, you might keep an eye on O/S.
