Well, Radart, what I'm really asking is (don't we ALL have to alt/ctrl/del?), if you have had Poser refuse to load and have to reinstall-and if this happens after locking up--or if this has only happened to me. Either using the Poser shortcut or actually going to Poser and using the .exe-neither way was I able to get Poser (the application-not a particular texture) to load. Diane
