Okay thanks. What I'm referring to may actually be a bug rather than changing the display setting, because I already looked into that and it was set properly (to view fully colored and textured).

I reloaded the figure and suddenly it started appearing properly again. - I had tried this before but it didn't work until now. My guess is that something changed after the pc was rebooted. I've noticed a few bugs in Poser 7 like that - they won't go away just restarting the program, the pc has to be restarted. Weird.
