I log into Poser Pro 2012 and get this error when the program accesses my runtime. Why the @#$% does it need access to my Dropbox?

Moving this to Poser forum.

Just a guess, maybe you saved something there that Poser is trying to get access to?

I thought that I posted this to the Poser forum. Weird. Anyway, no nothing in my dropbox that is poser related. I get the same message even if running Poser as admin.

Maybe a texture or OBJ file you've made yourself/downloaded that is now in a prop/MAT file in your runtime? Might have saved in in DropBox by mistake??

Try setting to start with factory scene under Edti -> generl preferences and see whats happening then

I don't use Dropbox for Poser graphics of any kind. Just did a double check to be sure and no images or Poser files of any kind in there. I get that error all the time but it doesn't say anything about Dropbox. Yesterday I had a Firefox update that cleared all email/forum pages of their log-in passwords.

all guesses

use to be if 2 app's had same .dll file name would cause problems.

if ya loaded a .exe with something else running.

virus.

sounds like files got cross contaminated.

few facts and as RorrKonn has put forward there is some guessing included in my theory.

"file times" are different than a missing file. Usually you might suffer this with external hard drives, C: Drive etc. It is the read/write value at time of creation or modification, just metadata. You see it on everything you have on your hard drive when you hover over a file or right click>properties of the file. Here is where it gets murky and that is why.....Possibly you were logged in and remained connected even if not using it, or an accidental file that is long since gone but logged in runtime. If connected unless you went to use the offending prop/item/material you would not know, if you did then you would get the regular "Cant find missing file" search option. Whatever happened it is trying to establish connection to your dropbox and treating it no different than your C: Drive, external drives in order to load your runtime just checks the establishment for file path > additions, modifications as a routine over looking for anything in particular. Can't say I have seen it with a cloud storage but then I am one to avoid those where possible although they do take over sometimes. Dropbox being cloud based app all indications are your browser update might have broken this friendship and upset the applecart.

That is what I was guessing. Poser was looking into the dropbox anyway but once Firefox logged me out of it Poser had no way of looking at it. At least Poser is still running. It worked just fine after I close the error message box.
