It loaded perfectly, Sharen- it surprised me too. It even came in with Ockham's Python ball props (because I had been playing with z-tooning) - so I deleted the balls. There is still one at his feet- and if I deleted that, it deleted him too- so USED the UNDO-UNDELETE BOTTON!(ha!! I LOVE That Feature- Jeez I wish Poser did THAT!) Anyway- ---Don't know why your DS shuts down. I know a number of people already HATE ME for saying this, but I built my two P-III's to be compatible with DAZ Studio from the day it was announced. I went with what DAZ was using primarily- Win2K Pro, plus 512 MB ram and good graphics cards (64MB and 128MB). DS seems to run like a CHAMP on my systems- have had very few problems, other than Poser Pz3's (like I can't get Bloodsong's Heavy Horse to load correctly with Alla's new maps- still working on that.) Shazam MAYBE was orginally created with magnets by DKE, but as a M1-M2 product his head is designed to accept all MIKE 2 morphs, but with more caracturist-toonlike control features. That's why I love the Shazam characters- because they ARE different than just morphing M2 or V2. ALL of the BORIS morphs have working dials in DS. I was surprised too that ALL of it was working correctly!
