Thanks for the return to XP advice. I'll do that when I get home. My hard drive was reformated on the system in question and I installed Poser, so it was more of a new install than a reinstall. I did add in the old Runtime folder which was stored on an external drive. I even tried reloading a file fresh from the net....It still can't find it. I also noticed that Poser installs a back up in the Metacreations folder while the Poser program resides in Curious Labs. Why does it do that?? Thanks for any help S
