I filled may 2nd drive with Poser stuff so I bought a 250 GB firewire drive and moved all the Poser stuff over.....just drag and dropped it to the new drive. Amazingly everything works fine. I'm taking back every bad thing I ever said about Poser 5! But.....when I try to open my old PZ3s I think Poser searches for the .obj files on the old drive, It seems to find backgrounds,props, poses and lights on the new drive without trouble. Is there any way I can fix this without actually searching myself for the .obj files on the new drive? People objs of course are easy to find but shoes and clothing objs are a more difficult problem. As I said before, everything else works fine, just the PZ3s have a problem.

Are the obj's installed to the correct paths on the new drive?

The objs are in the correct paths on the new drive but Poser is looking for them on the old drive I think. The address in the pz3 may point to the old drive. If I find the objs for Poser it seems to find the textures and everything else without difficulty.

Correct Reference Pro might be what you need. It's supposed to find bad obj references and correct them. You can dl the demo but I don't know all of the funtionality.

I must remember to remember what it was I had to remember.

CorrectReference Pro is the answer. However, the demo version only does a "Dry Run," which would show you what you get after you pay for it. You could buy CorrectReference Pro and fix the problem easily, or you could got through every "problem" file, and correct it manually....

Thanks for your help. CR Pro does a great job of correcting file referemces within the poser runtimes, but I have not figured out a way for it to correct the pz3s that are scenes stored in a separate file. Maybe I'll ask the maker of CR Pro if this can be done. In the meantime I can use P3do Explorer to help me find the location of the geometry files included in the pz3 scene files. Any other suggestions?

I have a folder for PZ3's in the same Runtime folder where all the stuff is installed. That makes things much easier.
