I would like to say thanks for the help. However, I must admit that I am still very confused altho I was able to open the New Content Runtime Folder and drag the subfolders (i.e. character, pose, textures, etc.) into appropriate Daz Runtime folders (character, pose, textures, etc). And now I can direct Poser to those Daz content files and use the product, but the whole process seems complicated. (And I am not clear about what I would do if I did not already have Daz installed on my computer.) Is there a reason Poser content does not come with installers the same way content sold for and by Daz does? Previously in this forum someone posted a sheet titled: Where To Put (or find) Poser Files, which I copied and studied before posting my question, but it still assumes familiarity with Poser that Newbees lack. And for those of us who came to computers late in life, fussing around inside folders is downright scary. No telling what we'll screw up when we start moving files and folders about.

As for Winrar, I am not familiar with this software and I will look into it, but I sense that the same problem still lurks for us Newbees: It is not readily apparent where the appropriate folders are in Poser, so we will still not know where to direct the folder(s) to.

I don't mean to gripe. I realize the fault lies with my inexperience with computer file and folder structures. Truly, thanks for nudging me in the right direction.
