have a rather convoluted problem. Recently, my laptop crashed, and I had to reload the operating system. I also started reloading the software. But the Runtime folder for my copy of P4 was still there, so instead of putting P4 back, I just loaded P5 and directed it to add the old Runtime folder to its library. All fine, and everything worked except the MOR thingys. Textures go on fine, but the MORs don't, and the program freezes. Is the solution to put P4 back on? Will P5 be able to work with the MORs then? And if I do, will this erase everything in the old Runtime? That is something I'd really like to avoid, since I don't want to reload all that stuff.

MORs or INJs? If you use injection poses, for V3/M3/SP3/Freak etc., from a secondary Runtime Poser 5 can hang. The solution is to copy the Libraries!DAZ folder into your default Poser 5 Runtime (and the same for the Micro folder for RDNA's Microcsom, and anything else with delta and visibility poses)

Thanks. I'm talking about those inj things in the Pose library (MOrs I guess) that change the shape of the character. Copy the character folders to Poser 5? Or the Pose folders? Or both? I'm easily confused. :)

I am not a very experienced Poser-user yet, but from my experience I can say that it is always best to re-install everything inside PG's main folder. Personally, I started with P5 default with SP4.1 without the content room. I set Poser to open with no character on the scene and deleted everything from the runtime folder that I wasn't going to use. In my case, only Don was kept. Then I installed the meshes I bought at Daz and installed the various characters etc I bought here. I know it is a lot of work, but imo the only way to be shure everything is ok. Second best solution is to grab your P4 runtime folder in explorer and copy it to your P5 folder.

Both MOR and injections are changing the shape of the character. You usually can tell the difference because INJ pose usually come with a REM pose of the same name, whereas MOR poses tend to be more distributed with a "zero morph" pose. The INJ uses a reference to delta informations that MUST be set in Poser5 runtime for them to work. MOR poses only use the deltas already present in the character, so they can be stored in an external runtime if you wish. I hope I haven't been to confusing... Best wishes

If I remember correctly, the !DAZ folder in question is directly under Runtime in the Poser file hierarchy. It is at the same level as Geometries, Libraries, and Textures. This folder MUST be in the P5 Runtime folder or the injection files (the pose files that often have a nurse's needle in the background of the thumbnail) for the DAZ new figures (V3,M3,S3,and the new male and female muscle-bound folks) to be able to change shape. I discovered this the hard way. I think everything else is okay in a separate runtime folder but I copied the geometry folders over, too.

Thanks guys!

The !DAZ folder is in the Libraries folder, alongside Character, Camera, Hair etc.

Thank you for the clarification RHaseltine. I was at work and Poser is at home :-( The male and female Freaks are the other two figures I couldn't remember.
