I just reinstalled Poser 7 on my WinXP box (long story), and it works fairly well... except that, when I apply textures to a figure, the part I apply the texture to turns solid black. When I do a render, the texture appears normal, and when I go back to preview, the texture is normal, not black! Kinda weird and a little annoying, but I'd like to fix it if I can. Any idea what might be causing this?

Thanks in advance,

Guy

Same problem here with shaders. Enter the material room and click on each black part.

It seems likely to me the problem is with your video card drivers, or there may be some subtle bug with Poser 7 in regards to dealing with the OpenGL driver.  One, you might try using the SreeD preview (or try switching to SreeD and back to OpenGL) and two, you might update your video drivers to the latest version available.

Video driver is up to date, video hardware is high end.

It's not the video card or the drivers, it's a P7 SR1 bug since it did not happen before SR1. And funny enough it does not happen at all with figures stored in the P7 main runtime, only appears on figures stored in seperate runtimes. But eF knows about it, there is thread about this issue in the CP forums so hopefully it will be fixed with the next service release :-)
