Vile, I'm not sure about that but when I reinstalled Poser I lost the text in the materials lab for the transparency sliders. Luckily, I know which is which because there is NO text there any longer. Another thing--the first installation of Poser had very light grey background and the second installation is several shades darker. I kept thinking I was seeing things, but then I found the loss of the transparency slider text so ---who knows?!? These seemed strange to me, quite frankly. Diane B
