I bought the PoseTools. I installed them and then I installed the XP PoseTool Patch. You also have to start Poser and then choose FilePython and then navigate to the installer file that they tell you in the Help file. After that you have to select WindowsPython Script (I think these are the right names. I've only used Python a few times and I'm writing this from memory.) When the Python window shows up, you will have a button that says PCT (I think.) I clicked on that and got a different window of buttons that were for PCT. There was one that was for Help or manual or something that made me think of reference, so I clicked it. There was some screen activity and then my computer made that sound like it does when SP2 blocks content, and Pose Tools said it had installed the manual and it was now minimized. But there was nothing minimized. I had my Poser window and an internet explorer window that displayed my c drive. I tried going back and I would see a flash of the PoseTool manual screen, and that "blocked" sound. (I saw the flash of the manual page during the screen activity too.)I gave up after a few times. I accidentally stumbled across the manual files and tried to run them that way. Same problem. It also said something about registering and entering some code on one of the screens too, but I looked at the help file that DAZ provides and the letters they sent and I found no code. I then clicked on the link to send for tech support. I sent a letter much like this. But I never heard anything back. Maybe he never got the email, I don't know. But I don't give up easily. The next day I decided to run the xp patch again. After that I started up poser 5 and the posetools and they worked. I could get to the help file. Windows told me it had blocked content which I had to respond to, but the screen didn't flash and go away anymore. I think there are two installs going on here. The file you download from DAZ just installs the files to your computer. When you run with FilePython and navigate to that installer, it installs the Python files. That must be when your suppose to run the XP PoseTools updater. Anyway, it worked for me. But I haven't had a chance to do much else with them.
