Well.. it may help you but it's not a patented Solution™.

I have ALL my Poser stuff on my external K: - and I AM running Vista. And I have no problems with Poser finding my textures. So there must be something  else that triggers the error, or we would all suffer from it, which we (luckily) don't.

I'm glad it solved your problem, but it's a clunky workaround, not a real solution though. C: should be for the OS only. Everything else should preferably be on other drives/partitions. No matter what Micro$oft thinks.

But sure, if you're having the problem, it's worth a try. Especially if your computer is set up with plenty of space on the C: in the first place (Mine isn't)

On another (but related) note - the ALL CAPS extenstions affects CR2's as well as PZ2s. I found out the other day where I was pulling my hair out because Poser refused to load my new cr2. Until I checked, and sure enough, it was called CR2 in caps. Once I changed it to cr2, everything was fine.

I'm not sure if this MAY affect some of the textures as well. If the texture map is called .JPG or PNG or whatever - since Poser 8 apparently doesn't like shouting...

Again, I haven't had the problem just yet, but then again I'm mainly been using my own textures so far, for testing purposes, so perhaps I've just been lucky to avoid the ones that causes trouble.

You just can't put the words "Poserites" and "happy" in the same sentence - didn't you know that? LaurieA
