I have my Poser installed on a Win2K partition (E:poser) and I've recently noticed that a lot of DAZ installers go straight to the c:program filesmetacreationsposer directory and that is wrong wrong wrong! Not even the right drive, guys! Anywho, I'm not sure if you're extracting the files THEN moving them into the props/renderosity folder or if you're extracting straight to the props/renderosity. If the case is the latter, your extracting app (or the installer/exe) may be recreating the poser folder structure within that props folder in an attempt to install all the files to the right place. I know I could explain that better, but its been a long day! If this isn't what's happening (and the more I think about it, it probably isn't), at least it'll be a nice heads up for later on. Another possibility is the free item is simply corrupt. Quite a few things I've downloaded from here don't work at all. A good example is the "Athletic Models" (I forget the artist/creator). I downloaded them from the Free Stuff link... and the zip is corrupt. Downloaded the same file directly from the artist's homepage, and they work like a charm. If the files here aren't working, see if the file is available elsewhere
