It is OK, I managed to get around the problem. As Poser would not run after installing a fresh copy I tried reverting to the old copy. I have the 'C' drive automatically backed up to the cloud on a regular basis. I was therefore able to restore the old Poser 11 installation into the programs folder and also restore the Program Data and App Data files. That done I tried again and Poser launched with all my old settings but then it started asking for files that had nothing to do with my saved scene so I let it do its search function. Once that was complete I was able to collect the scene inventory which showed what files were missing allowing me to restore those files as well. I guess it took about three hours to do the restore but it worked and it is nice to know my backup system works. It would also taken about that length of time to rebuild my preferences on a new and clean install so I am not too upset, I could have done without the hassle though.

 

 

I use Poser 13 on Windows 11 - For Scene set up I use a Geekcom A5 -  Ryzen 9 5900HX, with 64 gig ram and 3 TB  storage, mini PC with final rendering done on normal sized desktop using an AMD Ryzen Threadipper 1950X CPU, Corsair Hydro H100i CPU cooler, 3XS EVGA GTX 1080i SC with 11g Ram, 4 X 16gig Corsair DDR4 Ram and a Corsair RM 100 PSU .   The desktop is in a remote location with rendering done via Queue Manager which gives me a clearer desktop and quieter computer room.
