Nearly everything that we regard as 'not working' when we first encounter it turns out to be due to our lack of knowledge about using Poser, and of course about its quirks and limitations.

Like hborre says, hang in there, don't cry or get angry :O)... we've all been through it, so it's not you. But it's a very complex program, and I would strongly advise learning the basics from the manual or starter tutorial (both included with the installed software, or downloadable from SM), or one of the tutorials that Acadia gave links to.

You will always get answers here, but it will often take longer.

Good luck!
