Thank you for the reply Richard.
Actually I ran the DzCreateExPFilesv4.bat in my Daz Studio runtime, located in My Documents. That's where I keep all y generation 4 figures and accessories. I ran the one on my desktop, which was pointed at the correct bat file and that didn't solve the problem. So I ran the script directly from the !Daz folder and that didn't fix it either. So for some reason on my machine neither were working properly. First I renamed the !Daz folder in my then and the cr2. Finally that cured my problem. I decided to delete those files since I really wasn't using them anyway. V4 has been back to normal for over a month.
As I said before, what was really puzzling me was that the first time I loaded V4 in Poser, she would load as Victoria 4 Base without morph channels. I would start a new scene and she would load with the morph channels showing. I couldn't even add A4,G4 or Stephanie since V4 loaded without morph channels.
Another point, if I loaded any of the add on figures directly from their cr2s, I would end up with something that looked as if I was combining figures such as V4's body with A4 head and V4 eyes. Thats's what lead me to believe I had a conflict somewhere on my machine. Somehow Poser was reading the Carrara cr2 and not the Studio cr2 since the Carrara cr2 was a base figure. For some explicable reason on the second try, it would read the correct one.
I'm almost sure it was a Poser problem, but everything from the bat file links to the cr2 were pointing to the correct files. All I know is after I rename those files everything went back to normal. It had to be the way Poser reads relative runtimes compared to Daz Studio. I've read some where that if a file isn't referenced correctly Poser will look for the next closest one with that name. And since Carrara's runtime is in Program files, it may have grabbed that one. I still have my Poser 4 runtime on my machine and if I look at the file properties in P3dO, P4 woman uses the p4nudewoman.obz file from Poser 7 rather the p4nudewoman.obj file in my Poser 4 runtime. Seems strange doen't it? I'm just so used to absolute file paths that I just automaticaly think that way.
