ockam, thank you for your suggestions. Unfortunately they didn't work. Although I'm still very new to Poser and might not have done them correctly.

I should have explained more. It is not just the neck that gets blacked out when I render my character but also the back of her hair, her ears, the collar of the shirt and a little bit of her shoulders.

One other little problem is the fringe of hair across her forehead that was not there when I was styling her hair. I guess I could take care of this in Photoshop, although I'd rather not have it in the render if possible. Again I can't figure out why it rendered that way and would like to know if anyone has any ideas or tips.

I'm going to try to attach a picture of the character before rendering and after rendering to try and show the problems visually.

These problems are driving me crazy, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
