I have'nt had any problems leaving Poser running while loading a pz3 into Vue, in fact I usually do that so that if the figure needs adjustment I can do it straight away, resave and reload into Vue. Having two monitors helps because you can see both scenes at the same time. Regarding pointing Vue to the Poser directory,it never asks me. I think thats because everything on my runtimes is saved using full paths. The only message I get from Vue when I load a Poser file is that I do not have sufficient memory. but I just ignore that and it works anyway.
