Lost is my usual state of mind. So far as I can tell, and I will get a screen capture the next time it happens, Poser asks for missing files, which I either have to fake or let Poser go without. In the latter case, usually when there is a missing file attached to sever element, Poser locks up. By lock up, I mean nothing happens ... it just sits there eating up CPU time until I do control-alt-delete or, in some cases, a hard shut down. On On Ctrl-Alt-Del, Norton Utilities will tell me that Poser is not responding. Faking a file means conjuring up a blank in my photo app and saving it in the required name and format,
