May be you are on  an XP System and you are above 100.000 files on a drive. In this case, XP has to rebuild the MFT often as the Standard MFT is designed for app. 100.000 files. If you have more, you have to increase the space reserved for the MFT.

For this you have to add in the Regitry under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
System
CurrentControlSet
Control
FileSystem

the entry (as DWORD)

NtfsMftZoneReservation
 with a figure of :
2

This makes a reservation of 25% of the drive's space for the MFT and is good for about 200.000 files.

**All changes in your registry are don eon your own risk! So save before you make the changes!

I have no in my Posers 45.4 GB in 16.297 folders with 179,573 files means 44 Runtimes.

I started in August to build up Poser 6 from the scratch, I ended end of November. I looked into each freebie, is it worth to be installed or not and less then 50 % are now installed. I converted, where necessary the rsr's and deleted all rsr's, all ReadMe's and Promo pics. Checked the installed Files for correct pathes, believe me, it is a horror what in some files.

Now I have P7 and all I had to do was to direct P7 to my old Runtimes, done in less then 5 Minutes.
