Diane, I've had this happen with a bunch of stuff that required a texture that I didn't have or didn't convert. When Poser refuses to load it's the poser.rsr that's been corrupted. Instead of doing a full reinstall all the time, I've learned to keep a backup copy of the poser.rsr in another folder and copy paste it back when poser decides to be bad. You'll also notice that when you do that the file sizes are different from the bad one and the back up one. An aside from this, I was nosy last night and opened a .cr2 file in wordpad and saw a ref to a texture all the way at the bottom. Being a fraidy cat, I didn't want to test what happens if I delete that line. Has anyone else did anything with this? The long way around with naming an arbitrary image to the texture file that is needed is getting tedious at times. It makes me feel like a tech more than an artist =^/ Tina
