I've been using Poser faithfully since 1998 and have been quite satisfied with what I feel, is a superior 3d figure rendering tool. However, I am currently up to my eye sockets in an art project which demands a hell of a lot of progress in what little time I have after work. Poser of course, has no concept of this and "feels" it is necessary to not allow certain objects to open unless I delete the corresponding .rsr file (which of course is regenerated each time I open a particular model). In complex scenes this is a royal pain in the butt, as I'm searching for five or six .rsr files. Is there a way around this, or am I doomed to a life of perpetually deleting rsr files?

Upgrading to the ProPack addon,or moving to Poser5,will put a permanent end to this problem. Neither use the rsr file at all. SWAMP

You often get this error if you terminate Poser rather than quitting the program. The geometry file gets corrupted, and you need to delete the rsr file. Have you been "ending" Poser rather than quitting the program?

Thanks for the assist. I suppose it's time to put the squeeze on the checkbook. As for terminating the program: unfortunately this has been an ongoing problem since installing WinXP Home edition. (this is what I get for trying to be frugal) Though not all the time, I am finding myself terminating non responsive programs quite frequently. This is not limited to merely poser, but Photoshop, as well as Paint Shop & Windows Explorer. Hmmm, OS problem?

Nope, not an OS problem. I've been blissfully using Windows XP Home for years, with no such problems. Of course I've taken the time to update all my hardware drivers, software, etc. And I defrag on a regular basis.

Damn, I can't imagine what it is then. I'm good about updating drivers, svc pks, defragging, etc. Anyhoo, I've ordered P5 & it should be here within the week. I've wanted to step up to the new version since it's release & now is as good a time as any, I suppose. As a side note: After ordering P5, I spent nearly six hours working in P4 last night & experienced no problems. Go figure. Thanks to all for the assist. Happy Rendering.

Do you fix the probelm yet, I got the same probelm, is that the real problem as someone metion above by "terminate Poser rather than quitting the program" ? 'cause I am more comfortable with poser 4.0.3, and I don't like to update it to higher version. let me know if you find a way to fixed, thank you so much.
