that's why I wrote that bit about learning how the file structure works on the OS, etc...or whatever I wrote :)
Learn the basics afore trying the advanced stuff. you know ... but I did explain more full ythe basics within that post ... to guide this and all new folks . i couldn't get my mother to understand that you had to move the mouse in order to move the cursor and that you had to doubleclick the left mouse button to activate the icon. it was pretty hard for her to understand what the mouse click was ... or what the icon stood for, or any of the common terms...so yes, I understand about the new folks. I find that I'm starting to get aggravated, however, when someone that does not understand the basics blames it on everything else other than their lack of knowledge, and is obviously attempting procedures that are beyond expertise level.

It would be good for me to see someone come in here and say they know nothing about how to use a computer and then get that part straight, then explain how to install a program, etc etc etc.
Be straight up....

I realize I'm one of those old timers that believes in learning the basics. you know , learning how to read and write, and maybe learn some English and sentence structure before becoming an editor of a magazine or something.
But then I totally forgot the fact that nowdays most people want to start out becoming a vendor and being a pro artist right away.

OK OK ..I'm being ridiculous ..or not ? the OP is seeking help, so I will now refrain from any further bashing aand hopefully he/she is not too badly offended and takes my way too straightforward approach as a community thing, as it is not. folks are very helpful here.

and as I said, the best advice I can give anyone is to learn the basics first. take those child steps, don;t be embarrased about it, and give it a good, thorough try.

Quote - Dave-So, the problem is the OP is most likely a Newbie "PC" owner as well as new to Poser. What's simple to those of us familiar with DOS and Windows and how their inner mysteries work seems simple, but let me assure you, without the base knowlege we have of how our OS works. It's really not as simple as all that. This is why we get newbies coming in here asking the same questions over and over again. They're usually new to more than just Poser.

For people unfamiliar with how their OS works, DAZ installers are supposed to be a no brainer but they're just not. All it takes is one piece being out of place to bjork up a DAZ installer like having Poser installed somewhere it's not expected to be.
