I guess I'd try creating the folder on my desktop, putting the preference files in it, and then copying the folder to both locations one at a time and see if it works.

I'm not sure why our locations are so different.

I don't think that Windows 8 is that much different the 7 as far as that kind of thing goes.

  I was following some simulare advise i had found on the net and just deleted the preference files all-together.  I have not yet attempted to create a new Vic 6 /M5 animation yet to see if this fixed the problem but it is my intent.  It is however loading alot faster now so i may give it a shot with an animation of the same frame count. one of the questions i do have is..what is the best still rendering extention to use.  i am currently saving in .jpg format but owning the the CS6 Masters edition from adobe, i can really use anything.  the reason for this question is .....maybe a different extention such as .png or .tiff will cause less crashes with poser.  again, i ask this because I am currently stationed in Afghanistan and my personal time is very limited and setting up sceens and animations takes a long time for me (usually weeks) where most people it takes only a couple of days.  i dont want to waist my time if it doesnt work.  I appreciate any recommendations.
