I've never had this happen. I've used as many as three Michaels in one scene, all fully dressed and with transmapped hair, and they all work perfectly for me. I must just have a very compliant computer, because I never seem to have the problems others have with Poser. I don't even have a super computer. Just an HP Pavilion with a 40 gig hard drive and 128M RAM. I guess I should count myself lucky. I always feel bad for others when they report problems like this. I hope you can work it out. Melanie
