Hi Dawn, It is as Agiel says. Your windows ME is configured to NOT show the file extentions. The filename of the program is not really poser, but poser.exe. But windows is instructed to not show the .exe extention. If you have a problem with importing Poser pz3 files, i.e. that Vue 4 keeps asking you where poser.exe is located (in your case you must select poser) and doesn't start with the import, then you need to rename poser. This will solve the problem of Vue keeping asking for poser. There are now two options. Deselect the option of 'don't show extentions' and then rename poser.exe (because then the extention will be shown) to poser.exe or rename poser to poser (but I am not sure what happens then. Maybe Windows will rename it to something without extention, if that is the case, rename it to poser.exe). There is not much what can go wrong, but make a copy of the file first, just to be sure. (sorry for the long explanation, but english not my native language and I try to be as clear as possible in the case). Bye, Angelo
