Hello, again, To clarify, in the above (@4404039) I should have written 'My DAZ 3D libraries' not 'My DAZ Studio' Sorry about that!

Hello, I had a similar message on start up and,on the suggestion of Structure and Jimmy1 , I opened the following: Pose 12>Runtime> python> Poserscriipts> Addons and deleted the file related to DSON. I also did this for any imported runtimes particularly those from 'My DAZ Sudio' (I used to get three identical messages in the same window). The messages no longer appear.

Most of my DAZ purchases work OK but not the Genesis figures.

Thanks for all your efforts!

Thank you all for your help. When I do open 'poserstartup.py' in notepad there is no mention of dson, nor could I find anything in 'Addons'. Checking my downloads I found 'dson' for Poser 11.2 dated 2019 whereas the earlier dsons were dated 2014. I installed this ( it removed previous version ) But this version is for 64bits, the error message refers to a non-valid win 32 application. So, as I said before, I shall just delete the error message and not use the Genesis figures. Seems a silly situation DAZ offers so many excellent items.. I used buy quite a lot of this but not now, the need for later, unsupported, genesis material precludes this. I find DAZ studio a cumbersome program to use and can't be bothered to make the effort to become proficient.. Why did DAZ and whoever it was who owned Poser then split up? Was it a high level spat within the upper echelons? I can't help feeling both organisations have lost out to all our detriments. The poser / DAZ conflict is just the World situation writ small I suppose. Anyway, thanks again all and stay safe!

Thanks hborre,
I might try that but the fact is I'm not able to use my DAZ Genesis figures in Poser 12 whether the message is there or not. I'll just shut it down when it pops up like the 'Poser has shut down' when I close Poser 11.. (I believe we discussed that one some time ago!) Stay safe

Structure, Had another look and got as far as 'poserStartup.py.' . How do I open this file?

Hello Structure, Thanks for replying. Being ancient and dim the sequences I managed to find went: python>vendor links., no mention of DSON. Where do I find the 'Poser' at the start of the sequence you gave?

Thanks Ghostman. Keep safe!

Thanks again, hborre, I've a dislike of .dll's . My first (low spec.) computer, had Win 95. Every time I switched on some .dll. would be missing and the d----d thing wouldn't run! That was long ago. A world without imperfection seems to be unattainable! Keep safe!

Hello hborre, Thanks for replying. I did as you suggested but I'm afraid it still comes up with the message on closure. As I say the actual program runs fine so I'm not going to get hysterical about it. As I said in the 'problem details' the python27.dll file is mentioned. Could this be a factor?

Thanks wildman2. I shall probably switch to Win 10 in January.

Hello, I just happened to read Sam's original post and dragged Michael 2 out into the light, selected 'body parts' and there was 'genitals' with the visible (or not) option. ( I left them invisible as it is Sunday as I write!) Sorry if someone has already pointed this out. As for the figure height button that definitely seems to have gone.

Hello, Sorry I thought the thread had finished. I think the main problem is advancing years. {mid 70's). I used to be quite tech. adventurous but I find I'm increasingly timorous. I know I shall have to change and would do so willingly except for little niggles like loss of 'Live Mail' and, on a sillier level, loss of Win 7 games. ( I've downloaded files for incorporating these into win 10 but why should I have to? ( Brexit saps the spirit!) Thanks to you all!

Thanks ThunderStone. Sounds hopeful but I'll hang onto Win 7 for as long as possible!

Hello oldingr. I should start a new thread. The support people probably won't be looking in this one anymore!
