Having problem importing previous saved M4 V4 characters....Screen is just blank..

When I open Daz People M4 etc figure shows on screen..Non of the body morphs.

Re-import....Now problem is when I try to save...See screen for error....

It did work at one time since I have alot of M4 V4 items saved but will not

open..

Anyone else having this problem?  If so how to correct..

 I have Game Dev on Win 7 ultimate and have not seen the problem.  Your Screen save image shows Poser  running the 32bit version.  Do you have the same problem with the 64bit.

Where are your runtimes located?  Is Poser the only one having problems if not you may have a disk beginning to fail. 

Only problem is with Poser2014...Daz 4.6 I am able to import etc....Yes

problem is with my Win XP 32 bit comp...Dunno is any update did it?

Annoying since I have so much saved...BTW problem also with all V4 I saved...

My other comp has Win7 with NP...

My runtimes are all on external drive...Have Poser runtime /Daz content there

The importing is confusing me- are you importing a poser/studio scene into poser or trying to get the M4 from your Poser or Studio runtime library?  I haven't had this issue when importing a scene from Studio to Poser 10, nor using a saved character of M4 from my Character runtime library.  Odd.

Just trying to save M4 to my desktop folder...I opened it fresh from Daz People folder.

Unable to import anything previously saved for M4 for V4

You can see I have quite a lot for M4...The screen shot is Poser is what I get when I

try to open...The other screen shot shows when I start from scratch and try to save

Is Edit>General Preferences>Miscellaneous>Use External Binary Morph targets on? If it is, turn it off and try saving and then reloading a new scene.

That seemed to fix 99%...Some saved items I get the same..

Thank you....

RHasletine is like awesome... Dewd walks in james bond style with one line of text and ShaBam!!! problem solved... Fixes his tie and collar, pulls down his sleeves from his sports jacket and walks out the room...

and yes... drives a jaguar.

Back again...I noticed when I checked my saved M4 some do not have two icons..

One is poser scene and other poser content...Any one have any idea why this happened?  Guess I will have to delete all that only have poser scene icon

PS..Unable to delete icons that only show only PoserScene content icon..Get error file is in use...

:(

 I believe I am correct in saying that the only time you get two icons is if you have the external binary morphs ticked.  With external binary morphs un-ticked you get one icon.  Not sure why Windows will not let you delete unless it is protected.

Despite the fact that many have no problems with the latest versions of Poser I have not used external binary morphs since Poser 7 as I had the problem you have seen here.   

Hmm so this is a mystery..Using my Win XP 32 bit comp..My favorite..

Guess I'll just live with it.

Thanks for you help and time..

There is an unlock app that will disassociate the files from their parent program.  ATM, I am not currently sitting at my home computer to extract the exact application name.  It is a freebie, though.

I saw the program online but it's for Vista/Win 7...Not Win XP..did not want to install until I

was sure it would work

You could try reloading each scene that has the dual files and then resaving it. Time consuming, indeed. But since I believe that secondary file contains the morph information, if you just delete it, won't you lose the data permanently? Unless you've saved it in a new scene while having "Use external binary morphs" check off?

Items with the dual files load ok...Its the icons that only have PoserScene that will not load. I have 10+ of

them..Just more annoying then anything else.

Hmmm. I find that odd. I wonder if they used to have matching files that somehow got deleted? Then again, I can't say I know much about the subject, alas.

Agree its odd and I'm able able to delete as error says files are being used...

Works with XP, I have this loaded on an XP machine.

See attached pic..Win XP blocking install

Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the files with grey Icons are .PMD files (external Binaries) are these the ones you cannot delete?

if so, have you tried deleting them while poser is closed?

were they created under another username?

as for the blocking of the install, that looks like Firefox is blocking it(that can be changed in your settings), navigate to the containing folder and try launching the installation from there.

.exe is in my document folder....

As for deleting the unwanted items even  my online tech support could not do it...The red icons  shown in this folder. M4 also has some
