Bobbie, it's not me to defend Windows, but the "issue with PBooost" is actually a Poser bug. The symptoms are as you describe, but the root cause is Poser. When Poser can't find a texture, it opens every folder under Runtime in a wild search for the texture. And it leaves every one of those folders open - never closes a one! Windows 9x couldn't care less about open folders, but Windows 2K/XP keeps track of such things, and won't let anyone else access them until the requesting application - in this case Poser - closes them. Which it nevers does. So PBooost can't get to them, because Windows has them locked (to Poser) as you say. Only known solution to date is - as you indicate - to run CRPro to correct the links thus ensuring that Poser doesn't have to run its buggy shotgun approach to finding a missing texture. And a by-product is much faster loading of figures/props/etc too. I'm sure that Howard would be more than happy to receive a freebie Mac, aalthough there would be a lot more involved to port Hogsoft utils to MacOS or OSX. And you are most definitely right about Howard being pretty busy at the moment. But hang in there, there are some amazing new technologies coming...
