thanks for input, C5Pro doesn't seem to recognise the file structure of D/S. pointed at the content folder in the prog but nothing shows up even after refreshing. i do have Poser 5 here somewhere. so i will install that and load it up(D/S can use the poser runtime). i'm afraid i do not know how to set up an external runtime, although that would be a good idea when i fit the second drive tomorrow(500Gb Western Digital)
regards
andy
