bagginsbill,

OK, maybe I am more computer illiterate than I first thought LOL! I will try to give you the information you need and not what I THINK you are looking for so here goes,

Quote OK. But the error is saying "I'm not allowed to talk to Poser or Poser is not allowed to talk to me."

Quote - I checked my Windows 7 firewall by clicking on the "allow programs to communicate
through Windows Firewall" and it shows that all of my poser files are allowed.

Again, how would you know?Quote

I went the control panel and opened up the firewall, I then clicked on the sidebar that said "Allow programs to communicate" and made sure that Poser 6,7&8 all were in allowed access through the firewall. They were there.

QuoteHave you tried disabling the firewall temporarily to see if that makes Poser work? If not, try that. I'm not suggesting this as a permanent solution. Just seeking data.Quote

I just got finished doing that and it made no difference. I am going to stop right there because anything else I say would be a guess on my part and probably not very helpful. I really appreciate your helping me with this. I don't know if it means anything but it was mentioned by someone else about Adobe reader 10, I only have the trial version of 9.
