Thanks, everyone, I called E-Frontier this morning and the nice folks there had me delete the files (not the folders) in my Runtime/prefs folder. Something got all corrupted and messed up Poser, but now I'm addicted to playing with it. I have today and the next two days off work and have barely budged from in front of my new computer with Poser 6 installed - I even bought a few additions and am really enjoying it. You guys are great,  SantumArtKitty, SteveShanks, Kaveman,  Jules 53757, Scarab, thanks again for your advice, you really helped me out.

Andrea
