Yeah, if been here before but... The last time it had happened, I had been a Poser addict for lot less time and had a lot less stuff. In some ways, it was my fault. My instincts had been telling me I should pick up a new external and make another runtime backup. Instead, I spent the money I'd saved for an external drive on the Poser upgrade. Then, I had disaster strike and not only my "runtime" external malfunction, but found my backup unresponsive... And the really sorry thing is I don't even use Poser 11, I still use poser Pro 2014 because I like it better (at least for rebuilding runtimes). If I ever get rebuilding done and have time to learn, I may eventually learn and like the new stuff added in Poser 11 Pro.
