Quote - Yeah I think poser 8 should be programmed to locate all runtimes and use them from the remote locations they were installed at without importing them by making new copies of existing runtimes in the documents directory in windows which eats up a ton of more drive space because the imported runtime is actually a copie of another runtime.

Err, that's exactly, what Poser 8 does, it allows you to have your runtimes everywhere you like, even the default runtimes... If you're making copies, you're doing something wrong.
