Ok, I have been scouring the web for issues with installing Poser 6.0 and have found the most common one is the installation of your prior RUNTIME into Poser 6.0. Adding Runtime Start Poser 6. Go to the Figures Runtime for Poser 6 on the right. Click on FIGURES. If your FIGURES is not showing you two folders called "Poser 6" and "Download" then you are somewhere else in this RUNTIME folder, go to the top of the list and click on the GO UP (arrow) folder... This will move you up a level or two... depending where you are. If you've done this then you will see the "Poser 6" (followed by a RED DOT) and the "Downloads" folders. Now you're at the top level. On the top, right, you will see a down-arrow which you can click on to select a pulldown-menu. At the bottom of this pulldown-menu you should see the entry "Add Runtime". If you see "Add Category" then you are not at the very TOP of the Figures Folder. Select "Add Runtime" and you will be presented with a dialog to select the exact directory where your POSER 5 (or POSER 4) Runtime is located. Make sure you select the entire path to the RUNTIME, not the usual path to just Poser 5 (or Poser 4)... C:Program FilesCurious LabsPoser 5Runtime Once you select this and click the "OK" button, it will take a short while (depending on how HUGE your runtime is) to import the links to this into the Poser 6 database. Once its done, you will see the newly added Poser 5 Runtime folder under the "Downloads" folder. Once all entries are added to Poser 6, you can highlight your Poser 5 Runtime and at the bottom of the screen is a checkmark to "Make Current" your selection. You will know if your selection of making this Poser 5 Runtime current worked when you see the RED DOT move from Poser 6 to Poser 5. This now will show you the content of your Poser 5 Runtime now in all Categories. I hope this will help you out alot in getting your old content back up and useable in your new installation of Poser 6. I loaded up an older .PZ3 file from Poser 5 into Poser 6 and what used to not work in Poser 5's renderer worked on first try with Poser 6... I was VERY HAPPY I didn't have to reinstall my ENTIRE Runtime back into Poser 6.
