Finally working after much grief. I edited my poserpystartup.py according to HartyBarts instructions. I also added the XL library to the ...startup.py. The XL library appeared slightly before the main poser window opened, but I still couldn't see the XA menu. I discovered the problem was that it was opening under my windows start menu bar that I have on the top of the screen. When I dragged my windows start menu bar to the side, it revealed the tiny XA icon on the very top of the screen. Thanks again for the help. Best Regards, Doug
