Personally, I think the 'V4' link is a red-herring.  It could be the problem, but it might just be the trigger that caused you to use Poser again (and/or in some ways you hadn't recently).  My personal belief is that this problem is related to 'something' that happened on a specific date (a few days ago, or "the next time you ran Poser" (or clicked on the Hair folder or something like that) after the event).

If you look back through this thread, it was happening to people (incuding myself) before they bought V4 but had never seen it before a few days ago.  Either the program code itself had some date-based trigger in it, or there was some interaction via the network (more likely).

We might also be having different issues... the one that seems to have been triggered a few days ago reports a problem "xxxx... on line 2".  And after clicking Ok on the dialog, I (and others) hadn't had any other problems since,  but some of you are reporting recurring problems.  If you're having a recurring problem, look back through this thread for possible solutions.  If the solution doesn't work, post your file here so we can see it (grab the file before clicking "Ok" on the dialog).

Just for the record, I had no problems after installing the "Complete" V4 pack.
