Must be either Vista or Win7, Win 8 is not compatible with Poser 9. 

 

What you need to do is install your Daz characters to the main poser runtime e.g. Program files(x86)/smith micro/poser9 (something like that) 

 

When it's finished installing double click on the initialize icon on your desktop (for the figures that have it). Don't delete the icon after it's done, you'll need it again. Next for V4 install your morphs the same way then go back and re initialize V4 or else her morphs won't work. Do this for each base character you install for V4 such as Aiko, Stephanie...

 

When you launch Poser the Poser 9 runtime you see is actually in your Documents folder. You'll need to import the main runtime by clicking on the folder with the + on it in the upper corner of your library window then direct it to the runtime folder under your program files directory.

That should have you set up.
