Not embarassing.. Whenever something doesn't work as it's supposed to, it's a trial and error thing to get it working. And sometimes things just start working on their own accord, apparently just to spite us L

when I worked in an office, it was common that if your computer went bonkers and you went to get the IT guy.. the moment he stepped into the office.. the problem went away as by magic. 

Most annoying, really because it made you seem like an idiot L

It may be something from your Poser 7 runtime. Good thing is you don't need to reinstall or anything. I assume you have your Poser 7 runtime safely tucked away on another disk? External, not a CD, although as long as it isn't zipped, it will actually work anyway.

Let's assume you have your old Poser 7 installation, runtime and all somewhere else on your computer. In Poser 8, simply run the Import Runtimes script and Poser 8 will see your Poser 7 runtime. No need to move anything. And you can have Poser 7 installed as well, in its own location. Poser coexists peacegfully with previous versions. I stil have both Poser 4, 5 , 6 and 7 installed along with Poser 8. Works fine :) They're in each their default location.
