hborre,

After loading in Akio, and V4 and the other assorted files which came with them, my folder looks much, much different.  

Many of the DAZ items have been moved about (seems to me).
I did not know that Poser 7 had heuristic folder workings. 

Now my sound it turned off somehow? ... Audio Service is not running it says .. this is very odd.

I wonder if I will have to venture into the bios?

Thank you for the help, I will be back, but I will be back more surely after I have PoserPro 2010
and am secure in the knowledge that the machine is OK.

I will attempt to make my external folders and then see if it runs.

Thank you for your assistance.
