emerald_darkness, Good, I'm glad that you do save elsewhere. Let's see if we can get them unbrainwashed (love the analogy). Just opening the file may have been enough to move the morph data... like when opening a library file tells Poser to make or rebuild rsrs. I wonder though, if you try this, what would happen: in the menu, under Poser 6 Mac OS (or it's relative placement on your OS) find "General Preferences". It is a dialogue box with 4 tabs. The last tab is "misc". There is a checkbox which says "Use external binary morph targets" and another for file compression. I have the file compression unchecked, despite it being a space saver. I do have the external morph targets box checked. Look to see whether you have it checked or not, and try the opposite. Open a file which alread got converted and see if Poser converts it back. It may actually be something other than the morph data, but given that it is a loaded V3, that is where my first suspicion lies. Carolly
