9.0.0.16510... OMG I forgot to upgrade to service release 3... just now did that and it worked!  Thanks a lot, Bill :D :D

Still don't know what's up with DS4.5 though, Oh well, I hardly use it anyways, I'm not such a DS fan anymore cause the SSS just does not look all that great (I'm SSS addict now lol).  Also I love Poser's IDL light, the "IDL" wannabee light in Poser uhh... as far as I remember... takes WAY WAY TOO LONG to render.  I'm pretty much hard core Poser now that it supports V4's different sizes.

I'm gonna find and install the latest release anyways though, see what happens...
