Quote - f I tell poser to stop searching, it comes up with another missing delta and so on. It seems many deltas are missing. They used to work when I first installed the characters so I suspect windows has misplaced, lost or corrupted them. What to do ?

Try reinstalling the files again. If you are using multiple runtimes, make sure you copy the !DAZ folder from your external runtime library folder, into the poser 5 or 6 library folder. I also found out that if I have my poser set up to launch in a certain way with a certain character, and I've gone and renamed that external runtime for some reason, that poser can no longer find it. Also make sure that if you do use multiple runtimes, that the runtime folder is actuall added to the library in poser. I redid my runtimes and when I opened Poser to readd them, I got all those popups too because the runtime that I had taken V3 from wasn't in the program library upon launch.
