A couple of things to help you organize your stuff: When you open a zip, examine the path to see if the first referenced folder is Runtime. If so, the item should install correctly if you check the "Use Folder Names" option in Zip. However, to make it easier to keep track of things, make sure you switch the correct banks as you install. It's a good idea to not have Poser running as you install the stuff. If you organize your PBooost libraries like most people, I would guess they go something like this: Figures: Victoria 2 Characters Victoria 3 Characters Victoria 2 Clothes Victoria 3 Clothes Pose: Victoria 2 Poses Victoria 3 Poses Stephanie Poses Clothes MATS Hair MATS ... and so forth. If you're installing hair, make sure you switch to the correct banks first. Sometimes hair installs to the Figures library, so create another bank called "Hair" just for that purpose. As for items which don't have Runtime referenced as the first folder in their path, there's a dead easy way to get them to install. A few of the Japanese free sites often start the installation path with the creator's name, like so: Yoshis Hair/Runtime/Libraries/Hair/SillyHair So, when you unzip, you'll have a folder somewhere called Yoshis Hair, rather than the stuff dropping into the correct places. If you unzip these kinds of files to your root directory C:/ or wherever you have Poser installed, you'll be able to find the unzipped folder easily. Don't try to install the stuff manually from there; simply go into the folder and find the one called Runtime. Zip that one. Zip will ask if you wish to add it to "Runtime.zip" answer Yes, and you'll see the zipped folder appear. Now, unzip that one, using the "Use Folder Names" option, and it will all drop into the correct places.
