Hi all, I have some problems with Poser 6 ... it don't saves anymore. So I thought I uninstall / reinstall it on my PC. Uninstalled it and deleted the Poser 6 Folder. Cleaned the Registry. So far so good. After reinstalling Poser 6 with all patches it still don't export or saves. But I have still the last preview render I did there. Weired! There must be another place where Poser saves informations. Can someone point me to that folder? Thanks in advance Greets Chris

It's stated in the SR1 readme, where the renders are stored:

For Windows it's
Documents and Settings{USER}Local SettingsTempPoserRenderCache I had P6 also not saving sometimes...

Look for a directory called "PoserRenderCache".
I'm not sure of the path, as my Temp folder is not in the default location.

ok, found it ... but ... still can not save or export. Pulling my hair out here. What can I do else? Greets Chris

What happens when you try to save?

Hi Nerd,

when I try to save or export Poser 6 closes to desktop without promt.

forgot to give my system specs:

Compaq SP750 Workstation
2x Intel P3 XEON 866
512 MB Ram
NVidia GeForce 5700 with 128MB Driver Version 66.72
Windows XP Pro with SP2

24 GB Virtual Memory free

Hope you will be able to help

PS: Sorry for late reply :) Edit: Poser 6 worked great from the first time ... but after about 3-4 Weeks using it it has this issue.

Make sure there isn't any thing weird in your preferred state. Open prefs and set the prefered state to factrory and the UI to factory. Exit and relaunch. Try saving now. If it works delete all the UI dots too. Then arrange things the way you like them and reset the preferred state. Nerd3D

Nerd, thanks for the fast reply. Poser 6 is on a fresh installation right now. I have not changed anything in the UI and such but I'll try your suggestions when I'm back home. Thanks Chris

One more detail, did you install SP1 for Poser. There were some OpenGL issues and IIR one of them had to do with this. SP1 is supposed to have fixed them. You could verify if it's an OpenGL issue by setting your display type to SreeD and trying to save. Nerd3D

ok ... I have tried all your suggestions, Nerd nothing worked snif Any other ideas what I can do? Thanks Chris

OK, I'm stumped. You could try some basics, Virus and spyware scans. It not likely but you never know. It's really weird that it was working and just stopped. Do you remember installing anything or perhaps updating a driver?

Perhaps this link has some useful info: http://poserpros.daz3d.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=39221

hmmm ... interesting thread over there :)

I'm not sure ... but I will try some of their suggestions.

I'm not sure too if I have installed a new driver or such ... I know last thing I did in Poser was loading Wyrmmasters Vicky Vogue 2003 Deformers ... then BANG Poser 6 closed and no saving anymore even after a reinstall.

weired, huh? :)

Hi Chris I had the same problem and installed the latest videocard drivers. It fixed the problem for me. I can now save without any problem. Snoops

thanks for the tip, snoops ... I will try that too. greets Chris

Hi all, my Poser is up and running again :) After trying all suggestions given here without any success the last one was to uninstall and reinstall my Video Drivers as snoops suggested ... BINGO! Looks like my drivers got corrupt by any reason. Thanks to all who tried to help! Greets Chris
