Quote - This is getting beyond frustrating. If a Poser 8 library folder shows up with a question mark and I click refresh, nothing happens. I wait for ages, nothing. Sometimes the word "refresh" appears next to the name, but still, it just sits there. Is the icon supposed to revolve to show something is happening? Because it doesn't. Certainly, I am not getting access to the content.

Worse, the problem is erratic and appears to happen with mostly folders that are two levels in or more. This even happens with the Poser 8 content.

Adding anything to my external runtimes seems to trigger the problem. Strangely, it seems a very bad idea to have Explorer open at the same time as Poser 8, because that seems to make it worse. Also, opening Poser Pro seems to trigger the problem next time I open Poser 8.

Sometimes the problem can be improved by re-starting Poser, sometimes it is improved by restarting the computer. But it doesn't go away.

My Flash is up to date and my machine's specs exceed the requirements. How could this problem escape quality control? I feel like a beta tester.

Questions for you:

1. What Operating System are you using?

2. Where did you install Poser 8?

3. Where did you allow Poser 8 to install the P8 Runtime?

On my WinXP Pro System I had Poser 8 installed in the C:Program FilesSmith MicroPoser 8 and the P8 Runtime in the Poser 8 Folder, not the Default Install. I have had no problems with the new library.

Now on my Vista x64 System I have Poser 8 installed to C:Smith MicroPoser 8 and I have had no problems.
I "Turned UAC OFF" and I installed as Administrator.

I noted at RDNA that some are having Search Problems with Vista, care to guess where they installed Poser 8? - Correct, the C:Program Files Folder.

I have some 50 odd External runtimes on a USB 2 External HDD and when I "Add One", Poser 8 loads it all in, generally I do not even need to hit the "Refresh Button"
