If you are newly missing content and you are running Windows, you might try navigating to your Runtime folder using Windows Explorer. Right click the folder and select Properties. Click the Previous Versions tab. Double click any date before the update and scroll though to locate the missing files. You can copy them from the previous folder and paste them as you like.

I recommend making backups of your runtime folders and preferences files. A copy of your Preferred State file comes in handy too, along with dots files if you use them.

Best of luck and happy posing, Rªnce

Sorry, edited for clarity

I have been doing this this evening. It seems that most of the problem is not actually with missing files- they are in the same runtime that the program finds all the other parts of the figure in, right next to similar parts- as near as I can tell, exactly where they are supposed to be. After manually guiding the program to the particular file, it fixes all instances of that particular problem. So, the problem appears to be in either some kind of file pointer in the figure definition, or in the way the library is searching for things. Neither of these problems existed before I updated to 11.2.289 and they seem like very peculiar problems to have at all, either way. Since there are several different figures I've had this problem with already, my money is a glitch in the way the library is looking for things. Since I downloaded the program installer twice and had the same problem, I don't think it's a transmission error. Apparently Poser has reached the "where are my glasses?" "They're on your head," stage of life.
