I have looked for help in the support and FAQ areas of Curious Lab, etc.. but can't solve this problem. I can't see the figures in the posing window. If I click on a part of a figure or run my cursor over the window I can see a faint line drawing of the figure ... the highlight indicating an area or part. Changing cameras changes what is showing/not showing as you would expect. I have tried adjusting the video hardware acceleration and have changed the color depth up and down, and the screen resolution, but no joy. Selecting different view settings such as line, hidden line, etc.. doesn't help, and I haven't come across any settings I may have set wrong. I have tried erasing my preference files, and setting the start-up to factory defaults. The figures are there, squarely in the middle of the window, just invisible until I run my cursor over them and a body part is them highlighted and then barely visible as a dotted line. I have erased rsr files, uninstalled, cleaned up registry, and reinstalled. To make things more complicated I have two video cards with two monitors, one a hot NVIDIA quadro II pro (in my graphics port) and one an old Matrox Millenium (pci). My computer is a Dell Workstation 530 with dual xeon processors and 1 gig of memory. I am running Windows 2kpro. I have heard something about Poser not working with systems with "to much memory", Could this be? Any help much appreciated! VMX

Poser doesn't operate properly if you have your Virtual Memory set up to high. To see if this is your problem, go into the System Properties (in Control Panel). Select the 'Advanced' tab, and hit the 'Settings' button under the 'Performance' heading. When you get the new window, selceted the 'Advanced' tab, and the very last frame (at the bottom) will tell you how much Virtual Memory you have. What number does your computer tell you? I think that if it is over 1GB, Poser will no longer function. Hope this helps! Aaron

Actually, this sounds to me the problem the occurs when a CR2 file or similar is referencing to one of the files in the Geometries directory, but is no longer there. The earlier versions of Poser would give you an error message, but if you have the Pro Pack installed, it will just completely bypass the error message and displays all the morph targets and sliders on the right, but you won't get any object on screen, even though it has the light grey circle around where the object should be. I'd recommend opening up the CR2 file in Notepad or Wordpad (just don't save it afterwards) and look to see what file it's looking for, and if you have that file elsewhere, move it to where it wants it.

Aaron....You the man!! You solved the problem! If you have TO MUCH virutal memory, then Poser doesn't work right. Seems kind of backward doesn't it? anyway, I reduced my virtual memory from 3 gigs on one drive plus an addition 3 gigs on a second drive to 990 megs and all it well. VMX

VMX - Great!! This very same thing happened to me, and it was so nice to find out that I could fix it so easily! I'm very pleased to hear that this was the problem, and that everything is now working properly! Aaron
