Hrrrmmmm.. I don't have that problem... when I tell it to stop looking for missing.. it stops.. though takes a little bit longer to load... When I exit it asks if I wish to save.. etc... You might have a corrupt Poser.rsr file... If you've already backed this up.. you might want to copy it over the existing one in the Poser directory.. if not.... Ouch... you may have to re-install Poser.. THEN copy the Poser.rsr somewhere else.. Not sure why Poser does this... but there ye go... good luck
