Y'know, it sounds like your gripe should be with poser, or your computer.. not with the people offering the freebies. I am running Windows ME and don't have a problem with this at all. It takes what?- five seconds for poser to realise the texture is missing and asks if you want to search for it.. Is it so hard to hit no thnx? One would think you would be greatful for getting the item you were after for free. ;)
