When you first try importing a Poser PZ3 file for the very first time in Vue 4, it asks you to locate "poser.exe", for future reference, so Vue always knows where it is. I don't know what it's utilizing from Poser, whether it needs poser.exe for something, or if it's just a security thing, so people who don't have Poser can't just download a Poser scene file and use it in Vue. Anyway, evidently there have been a few times where Vue 4 has failed to "recognize" poser.exe, and E-on , on their website in the FAQ, has suggested that if it happens, to rename poser.exe with the same name, "poser.exe". Strange, huh? But evidently it works. Dawn, make a copy of your Poser.exe file from yopur Poser folder and stick it in a folder somewhere else, for safe keeping, and then, right click on the Poser.exe file in your Poser directory and select rename from the options that pop up, then clear the name box, and type in "poser.exe", without the quotation marks, and press enter and you should be good to go. :)
