Subject: Poser files to a new computer

Hi, I recently moved to a new computer. I saved all of my Poser files, installed Poser to the new computer, then copied everything from the old Runtime directory to the new Poser Runtime directory. Then I opened Poser and none of my old stuff was there. Anyone have any idea what I did wrong? Would it be best to just reinstall all the DAZ stuff individually? Also what about my own libraries of Poses? What's the best way? I still have all my old files. Thanks, LindaB

I had never any porblems with moving all my poserstuff from one harddrive to another. Didnt even install poser new , only copying the whole folders with all subfolders. Maybe you copied it somewhere deeper in the subfolders? Poser needes his own filestructure,otherwise nothing is working

if you have a metecreations and a curious labs folder in your program files, you might make sure the old runtime stuff was moved to the proper one

Linda; Look in your Runtime folder and see if there is another Runtime folder in side of it. If there is, take it and copy it to the Poser folder. If you copy a Runtime folder to another Runtime folder, it will put it inside the old folder instead of writing over it. If you copy it to the Poser folder, it will over write the old Runtime with the new one. Hope that helps. :)

I finally figured out what went wrong. When I copied my old Poser files to my external drive, somehow the content of the libraries never were copied over - when I opened the folders they were empty. Fortunately, I still had the files in my old computer, so I was able to copy everything again and this time it worked. Thanks everyone for your help and suggestions. I really appreciate it :-)
