It will open any file I saved using P4, but if I save over that file, I get an error. If I open a new file, add a figure, and save it, PPP won't open it and I get the error message again. I even tried saving as a compressed file with no luck. This is the error I get (blue screen): An error has occurred. To continue Press Enter to return to Windows, or Press CTRL-ALT-DEL to restart your computer. If you do this, you will lose any unsaved information in all open applications. Error: OE : 0028 : C005862D I've loaded the SR3 patch on this but never tried saving opening files before applying the patch. Has anyone seen this or would it be best to try to reload PPP? TIA darlisa

Well, the problem is with the SR3. Everything works fine with v1.0 of PPP, but as soon as I install the SR3, the save problem shows back up. Guess I'm off to contact CL.

Same problem occured with SR2, and I was hoping sr3 would handle it. Someone on the yahoogroups poser list suggested deleting all of the rsr files from my geometries folders, and it didn't quite make sense, but I did it anyway and it seemed to help for awhile. I had become so accustummed to rendering huge files with multiple characters at 1200x1200 for a tiff file. Now I'm lucky if I can get one character and some props to render at 600x600 without the same error. And this is even after I've emailed with poser technical. I use an athlon 550 with 512meg ram, an invidia 3d graphics card, all compatible stuff, but I'm about to go back to just using sr1 again. I would rather have a few less features than to be getting the blue screen with such regularity. Darlissa, I bet when you try to open a large (7-10meg or more) ppp zip that you get the blue screen as well. Adam Smith

Adam, I was getting the blue screen with any size file, even blank ones that I had saved while the SR3 patch was applied. I've been having other problems as well and finally a friend commented that it sounded as if I had a boot sector virus. Well, my anti-virus program has always come up clear on those, so I found a little freeware program and guess what? I had a boot sector virus. After cleaning it, I reloaded the SR3 patch and so far, I can save and open files with no problem, however, the files I saved before, I still can't open (get the blue screen), but those I can recreate. I never had the SR1 or SR2 patch since I just got the Pro Pack, so I have no idea what the differences were or how they would work on my system. I sure hope you figure out what is happening soon.

OK, I'll bite. Which program, because even though the problems are a little different, it might be wise of me to do the same, and I'm using updated Norton stuff. If you still have the link to that software, maybe you can post it? Thanks, Adam

Hey THANKS! I wouldn't doubt it if we cross paths on this again. Take care. Adam
