you suspect a corruption, just re-copy it over the originals I think my problem is it overloaded in the 'pose' folder. as it tends to put all V3, MAT files etc and I ran out of room, I seldom crash. This was like my second time in a year. I did a clean install, scanned/defragged my laptop, I have a feeling it might have been my little 'default guy' got corrupted. I did save some files from the runtime. it's safe for me to re-copy these files like the MATs into my Pose folder? exceeding the 256-folder Library limit. ok, I think that too may have caused the crash. Is that limit for all the folders or each folder? I can rename some folders in the pose/character folders Can prop folders be renamed? thanks in advanced. Message edited on: 03/04/2005 00:15
