OK, OK,... I admit that I was (partially) wrong in Paul's case - my apologizes, especially to him. Although I do use a P4/4.0.3->PPP/SR3 already, creating a new clean install seemed to solve the problems with QuickRotator. It opened several times and worked fine. Again: Sorry for this, and if you already have PPP then go straight to Paul's site and download/buy his stuff...!!! :-) However, and now there's a big HOWEVER... The reason why it failed the first time must have been caused by a damaged Python in my old install. From my previous experience, Poser's Python seems to be highly "self destructive", meaning that some things initially work, and then suddenly stop doing so. I first tried to explain this with memory problems, but it seems more likely now that the various Python parts are highly unstable and tend to corrupt. Frankly, I'm not used to re-install software every few weeks only to keep it running - I wouldn't accept this with any other program, so why should I accept it for PPP. Then - it is only Paul's QuickRotator script that worked with the latest re-install, everything else (by other people) shows exactly the same failure that I mentioned above. Paul's dialog box is (relatively) simple, and even some of Dan's scripts/boxes do work as well - but only 2-3 of them. The other ones crash like on day 1. All of the other problems are also still there - the .obj import deaster, and if you tell Poser by script to hide a dial it still just ignores this. etc. pp. So, I frankly admit that I was wrong in Paul's case, but I have nothing to correct in my opinion about the quality of PPP itself.
