Quote - First at all, thank you very much to you all for your replies.

I upgraded my pc recently and then I had to re-install all my stuff. In this puter, I decided install Poser under drive D and I made a folder D:/Runtimes, where I have all my separated runtimes (!Acessories, !Cartoons, !Victoria, etc). I added all them on Poser, trougth add runtime option, on library.

I just started with Poser 6 (my old version was Poser 5). When I start to add stuff on scene, I am asked to find stuff on geometries subfolder. That bother me because always when I add something I have to say the path (I have windows window open asking to find files). When going to render, Poser ask me about textures too. At this time I dont have any inspiration any more to create.

I dont know if that will happen with pz3 files because I still dont have nothing done here, but that used to happens on Poser 5 (always asking where are files). I really felt so disgusted having to say paths for everything that I stop my pict, so I dontn have pz3 done.

 

 

I see the problem.  You have your external runtimes all nested in a folder called "Runtimes" which is confusing your Poser 6.  Change the name of that folder to something else (maybe "Externals") and then add it to P6 using the Add Runtimes option.

P6 already has a folder named "Runtime" and it's assuming that all of your stuff is in the Native Runtimes folder, not an external.  You can't name an external anything that contains the word "Runtime" or P6 will get confused.
