I use poser4 for my figures (posette/eve v4/dork) and kozaburo's transmap hair almost all the time. I work with Bryce 5, importing the figures as wavefront obj's and applying textures in bryce. I am running W98SE on P4 2.4 (previously 1.8) with 512 Mb RAM and about 15 Gb available HD space. I am afraid I have never run across this behaviour. The sequential import of the individual component object and box imports strikes me as a good way to isolate what may be wrong on a part basis.

Pass no temptation lightly by, for one never knows when it may pass again!
