Couple of quick questions/suggestions; Are you using Poser 4, & have you installed the free upgrade to Poser 4.03 from the Curious Labs site? Vic & Mic won't work properly until you do. If you have P4.03 already, what's you're OS? You might want to consider running SFC (Win9x's SystemFileCheck utility) to verify if any dlls have gone corrupt (like kernell32.dll; it's part of the OS, not Poser) If you have Nortons's SystemWorks, you might be due for a system checkup. If all else fails, a Poser Reinstall & re-upgrade isn't really all that difficult. just back up your runtime folders first. - I've read posts from some who've re-installed Pose over itself, but I'd still backup the folders as a precaution. Good Luck!
