Poser 4? And it get's that on trying to open it for the first time after a clean install? Sounds like it's not copying a needed file from the CD... mayhaps a tiny scratch or blemish on the CD, maybe not - whard to say. There's a couple of quick fixes you can try: 1) Shut it down [or before opening it], and go through the PoserRuntimeGeometries folders, and delete any files in those with an .rsr extension. There shouldn't be any on a new install, but the "out of memory, please allocate more memory to poser" is a standard poser 4 error for "the obj is hosed/missing/whatever and I can't find my a* with both hands and explorer please help me!" ;] 2) Grab the Poser 4.02 or 4.03 patch from CuriousLabs, and install it. I prefer the 4.02 patch, my install seems to run smoother with Posef 4.02 [4.03 is more lockup prone], and 4.02 doesn't have any irksome "call the network" patching. 3) Final resort, can call CuriousLabs... it's possible you got a bad install CD. I'd try the other options first just to make sure it's not the install routine glitching.
