Can you open the file the "hard" way, by starting Poser and loading it from there? If not, then something is seriously screwed with either your Poser drive or your operatiing system.. Cheers, Diolma PS: If I'm going to work on a Poser file, I always open Poser first. But then that's because I have all of Poser's human-readable files associated with MS Visual Studio so I can edit them easily..:-))
