WOW! I've just want to thank ALL OF YOU! The patch worked and now - after such a long time of waiting - I can use Poser!!! :) Sorry that I bothered you with this dumb prob, but I didn't know that the patch was out, 'cause I'm all new to this whole 3D-character design stuff and the progs used for it. Hope I'm still welcomed here in the board :) Thanks again for your help. bows deep
