Silke, it might help you to know that, with XL, you can do your initial searching for figures and minimize the window, then search for your poses and minimize it, then do a search through props and minimize it, whatever you use the most, and all can be minimized to the task bar at the same time and then called up whenever needed.   I work faster than ever now because I don't have to stop and search for things individually....I just run a search for whatever runtime I plan to use, the different parts of that runtime that will be needed, and then begin working.    

I finally got the P8 content library to work by installing on a new computer, and the hitch was as I thought from the very beginning.   Because I suspected it to be a security or firewall issue, I did not install my security software until I installed P8, and almost immediately Windows firewall warned that it blocked Poser 8.   Because I could get  "under the problem" this time, was able to get it released, and it installed normally.   This was using IE7 with no update to flash, no tampering with the settings, on a dual core Vista with 8 gigs of ram.   It was merely a Windows firewall issue, but is not easily dealt with once it slips past the initial installation warning.   

After having seen the P8 content library, I went right back to using XL.    Someone commented they were having a hard time with certain files not showing....I found that p3DO Pro version fixes missing files, so that it can populate the XL Library correctly.    Hope this helps.
