Brycetech, But this is how we prove that we are smarter than computers. We know when we are wrong about something. (We may not admit it, confess it, or even go live on Larry King to tell the world... but we know it.) Computers never know when they are wrong. Case in point: Poser goes looking for a bumpmap. You can tell it to take another one and it won't listen. You can tell it to nevermind, and it still won't listen but go looking again anyway. Almost all of my Poser crashes are when it has gone looking for something AFTER I told it not to bother (figuring that I'll be assinging textures by hand later anyway). Does it come back and say "I was wrong"? Nope. Try to load that critter again, and it will go looking for the same non-existant bumpmap. Carolly
