Well, now I'm really perplexed!  I just loaded the same files into Poser 5 on my son's laptop and everything is working fine!  Must be some sort of corruption going on in the P5 on my computer I suppose.  In any event, while I would still like to get to the bottom of this, I want to thank you EnglishBob for ONCE AGAIN, coming to my aid.  :)  I really appreciate it.  

P.S., if you do come across what the possible problem might be, I would definitely be interested in hearing it.
