I used to have a lot of problems using PBooost in XP (I still have problems with version 1.4; I went back to 1.3 and will await fixes). What I do now, though, is exactly what has already been suggested. I install everything to a temp directory, run CorrectReference on it, and then move it. Sometimes I also run CorrectReference on the new folders once they're in the Poser directory, as well, if there was a "missing" file that should be installed there but wasn't in the temp directory. I also run CorrectReference on .pz3 files before I open them. It works perfectly and saves lots of hassles. The problem is XP and the way it locks files, unfortunately, and the bug in Poser that causes Poser to keep a file open when it can't find a reference. XP ticks me off in lots of ways with that stupid "file locked" message (I get it in many forms, because of my personal workflow). In all seriousness, I really find PBooost to be a huge help. I'm thankful that I went back to version 1.3 as quickly as I did, though. I've heard a couple of stories about people losing whole banks due to the bugs in version 1.4. :( bonni
