Sepiasiren,

I'm fairly certain that DAZ 3d won't provide any way for you to get a previous version of Daz Studio.

If you have only just updated to the latest version it may be possible to find a recent system restore point on your PC and revert your system to that point in time.

In suggesting this, I seriously wish to stress that I don't want to be responsible for leading you into problems with your PC.

Restore Points can be accessed from Windows Control Panel (I only know this up to Win 8).  You might find that your most recent restore point was only a few days ago.  You will need to recall what has been installed on your PC since that date and judge what it would mean for your PC to go back to the date of that latest restore point.  Going back should undo any program, driver and Windows updates which have taken place since that date.

Therefore I would suggest a possible course of action for you:

1 Read up on Restore Points if you haven't looked into this before.  (apologies if I sound as though I'm an expert talking to a novice.  I'm no expert and you may well know much more than I do.)  A very quick search shows that there is a lot of info on what to do.

2  Make a Restore Point for your PC as it is now in case the whole thing goes wrong.

3  If you feel you can go ahead then revert the PC to your chosen restore point.  (If it isn't too recent then be wary of going too far back.  You may have installed or updated lots of stuff that would be lost).

If you do restore your PC then, after that is done, expect automatic driver updates etc to happen over again (but don't upgrade DAZ Studio!)

Once again, please assess for yourself whether this is of any use to you - I would hate to be the cause of further problems for you.

Hey, it may be a shot given that I prefer VWD to Dforce for hair, thanks for the suggestion...  I will ask my techie hubby what the implications are. Appreciate your help.
