Hi Folks! Black, your proble may well be related to hardware or a viral/trojan attack. I Hope you find the cause and fix it. Here's some simple advice I pass on to my students that many of us pros and prosumers have learned the hard way: always make duplicate files of your favorite Poser projects. Save a duplicate on your hard drive and at least one other copy on a storage medium like Zip disk or CD. I never work on an original Poser file. I always open a duplicate. At the end of each work sesion, I save the revised copy so that it becomes the new original. Then I make new duplicates. You probably already know all this. But if not, I hope it helps prevent an irreparable losss next time. Peter (Dr Zik)
