When I get the can't find ...(path)... message, I immediately (without closing poser) click on start->find->files or folders to call up the file finder window, make sure the Lookin Window shows the drive that poser is on, type the exact name of the file in the Named box, & let Windows hunt it down for me. If no matches are found, that's a strong clue why poser can't find it; if the file is found, I verify the location is correct. in nearly all cases, the path is wrong (be sure to check the spelling & case of all the folders in the path.) If the path is wrong, often I can create the proper folder & move the file there, so Poser can find it & finish loading. Also, there are 3 or 4 tutorials & documents available that list the Poser extentions & where/how to place them. I print out a couple for quick reference & keep them on hand whenever I have a "I gotta finlly install all this Great Poser STUFF!!!!" marathon. A lot of the readme's that are included in many downloads have very precise instructions on file placement, too, although if you accept the default in many cases you end up with dozens of prop or figure folders in pretty short order, many with only one item in them. - There's also a free download here called P3DOExplorer that helps a lot in re-organizing the folders more intelligently, once you're familiar enough with file types to know which you can relocate with impunity.
