Can anyone tell me why when I save a Poser file that has V4 in it, it crashed poser when I try to open it the next time.  Using Poser 7 and V4.  Thanks.

Do you use binary morphs in your preferences? These can cause problems with V4 so try your luck with creating a scene with V4, turning binary morphs off, saving after this step and then reopening the scene. In my case this solved the problem.

Well I thought I was a little more versed in Poser than I apparently am.  I am using morphs, is that the same as a binary morph?  And if so what you are saying is get my figure ready without any morphs, save it that way, and anytime I want to use that figure I need to apply the morphs before each render?  Thanks for the help BTW.

Simplified the binary morphs are indeed the morphs that you use with Victoria but if you use this feature they are stored outside the pz3 (in the same location), the cr2 and any other file that contains morphs. This can be very handy if you create a morph on your own and want to inject it. You save the figure as a cr2 and find the morphs ready to use and distribute them, seperated from the figure. But with V4 and a pz3 this does not work flawlessly and so, until you want to save out morphs, you can as well turn this feature off.

Go to the menue in Poser, click Edit-->General Preferences and look for the tab on the screenshot. If there's a hook where I've made one turn it off and try again with saving a pz3 (I recommend to build a new scene from scratch, simply with a V4 containing morphs for trying this out).

Please note, that you do not have to save a scene with an unmorphed V4 - you can shape her to your heart's desire and save the scene for further use. It's just that the morphs saved outside will not work without flaws so you have to save all at once with turning off the binary morph targets.

Thanks for the info, it worked like a charm.  You saved me from introducing my Hewlett Packard to my Smith and Wesson.  Thanks again my friend. 

Ahhhhh - I love it when things work!! You are very welcome and I am happy that my memory didn't fool me, somehow I remembered that people (including me) reported this problem when Poser 7 was new.

...unfortunatly I see few chances to "rescue" your older scenes, I am sorry.
