One thing that has happened to me a few times is if I am running both Painter3D and Poser4 at the same time. And I edit a texture then swithch to poser to check and see how it looks. Poser will eventually lock up on me when I'm in the materials window. When I do a ctrl+alt+del. The figure says "can't find .obj". Even though it's really there. Deleting the .rsr in the geometries folder solves the problem. So I'm guessing this is an internal memory handeling problem in Poser. ScottA
