http://www.buckrogers.demon.co.uk/3d/scubadiver.pz3 is a scuba diver model. On my laptop it loads correctly every time if I click it in Windows Explorer. (I have Poser 3). But on a desktop it allegedly couldn't find geometry files which were present where expected, and then locked up with "error of unknown type". So I re-assembled and re-posed it from its components. and saved it OK. I then clicked it in Windows Explorer, and Poser crashed again. What devilry is this, that that a copy of Poser 3 won't read a .PZ3 file which it had created three minutes before? This is although I had just reloaded Poser 3 on that computer. OK, it does contain 7 models, but most of them are very small, being items of diving gear that I set up as models rather then as props, e.g. each fin and the mask is each a Poser model of one segment.

The offending desktop has 6 logical hard drives (2 disks each partitioned into 3), and is getting a bit tight on free disk space on C: and E:, which are the two logical drives that I use mostly. Could that be why this fault is happening? How can I tell my Windows 95 to use F: for working space?, as my F: has much more free space on.

This created 2 versions of scubadiver.pz3 : the laptop version and the desktop version. And about an hour later the Poser 3 on my laptop successfully read both versions!! What's going on!!?!
