Well, I just finished reinstalling Poser 7, Poser Pro 2010, and Norton because it was acting weird too.  I wanted to reinstall Poser 7 to see if the same thing happens there.

The saved poses work fine in Poser 7 with all iterations of my saved character.  Therefore I would think it safe to say that it is not the pose file that is corrupt.

In Poser Pro 2010, the pose STILL adds morph targets that were not saved with the original pose.  It only does it on older versions of the character though.  The most recent one can be posed and morphed etc. and when I apply that pose, all the morphs revert to the state I saved in the pose without mysterious intruder morphs appearing.

So I thought, maybe the CR2's of the older figures became corrupt, but they work fine with the pose in Poser 7, so....?

This all started when I set the program back to the factory state a few days ago.  Everything was working fine until then.  I guess the only thing for me to do, besides working in Poser 7, is to use the most recently saved version of that character, which seems to be immune to the phantom morphs, and re-clothe him with every outfit and save him again.  Sigh.  That's a lot of morph brushing, magnet making, and adjusting to do.

Things like this bug me.  I want to know WHY it happened.
