I have this problem too and I've been unable to solve it. The thing is, ALL my textures load fine, it's just the error messages that are annoying. It doesn't happen all the time and it seems to affect my most recent purchases of content and ONLY content that involves the Poser Material room. For instance it's never happened in MAT pose files. The solution mentioned above is a bit confusing for me as I installed my Poser 8 content, that came with Poser 8 on the same drive as all my other runtimes; so do I copy my textures to the Poser 8 external runtime or do I copy the textures to the runtime in the application folder? You see I chose option 4 when installing Poser 8 and chose to install the content to an external drive ( "D") and put the Poser 8 Application on my "C" drive.

Anyway for those interested the error message that I get is:- "Texture could not be loaded. Image map file could not be found, or there is not enough memory to load". I then click "OK" depending on how many textures are involved and the loading of the prop or character goes fine. the whole thing is repeated when I render the scene. Again I press "OK" and the render progresses without a hitch.

I have Windows XP Pro 64 Bit so this is not a Vista issue.
