Though, not having P8 now ... waiting everytime with Poser for a SR1 until buying ... but you may try this:

Have a look if you have some png-files (icons) without the neccessary cr2-files.
It may be that the library finds this and is searching for the missing library files. Or also vice versa ...

Quote - In my case it reports the path as starting "D:Poser 7Poser Data..." when it should be "D:3D DataPoser Data..." to hit the correct path.

This is a old normal behavior of Poser if not finding something in the right path. Then Poser is crying for mama and that means going and searching in it's install directory. Nice to know that these bugs are there in even a new release ... it's everytime nice to meet old friends :laugh:
