I do have a partition on my drive to seperate the recovery data from everything else, but P6 is installed on my main drive and I have allowed windows to handle my PF settings. I have reported the problem to CL Steve at the addy specified in his later thread and I am hoping they will get back to me with something I have overlooked.. If and when they do I will report it in a clean post :) I have Poser 5 all re-installed now and I want to go try rebuilding and rendering this scene there:) Thanks for all the help and advice!
