Hello, I think this time you might be wrong (at least this problem wouldn't occur only with warezed Max or PPP). My girlfriend had the same problem with Max. She has perfectly legal Max, Poser and PPP (all American version, she's American). We leave in France (I'm French, nobody is perfect ;) ) and we use the French configuration for our keyboard and that was the problem. In France the decimal delimiter is a comma (thanks a lot Abraham I pulled my hair out on that for a while) and if the delimiter in the regional preference isn't a point, Max transform EVERYTHING after the decimal delimiter in zero (If you have access to a copy of Max just try this : write 0,12345 and press ENTER, with your American setting the comma will not be accepted and you'll only get 0) and as the decimal delimiter in the PZ3 is a point all value beginning by 0. are zeroed out :( ) If you replace the comma with a point in the regional setting then everything work again. Well, as you work in Curious Lab If you can try to discut this with the engineer : before to ship non English copy of PPP, they will maybe have to write a routine to check what delimiter is in use on the computer and parse the PZ3 to replace all point with the symbol in use in the country (I think the comma is quiet widely used : France, Belgium, Italy, Germany, Spain...) otherwise you'll get a lot of mail talking about a bug (it's not really one but...) Hope this piece of info will help you people at Curious Lab. Thanks a lot for our favorite soft :)
