I hope I will be able to upgrade at DAZ as I got my V4.1 as part of Carrara Pro 6.

I am relative new to Poser 7 (I entered here) but I still prefer the DAZ humans (females). I know people from different parts of the world may look less attractive for themselves as for those of other countries but I am still of the opinion that the DAZ figures are better and there are more freeware for them as for the Poser figures.

OK,
I have managed to do what I intended.
Being too impatient to wait for an answer a crash course in pp2 file editing and 50 tutorials that say nothing, I managed to copy the files where it is suppose to be and edit the pp2 file until it worked.
I am serious when I say that there are so many tutorials that actually do not provide any answers, but just info that several others already gave.
Anyway, by struggling you learn the hard way but then you will forever remember.

OK Guys,
I have acquired another GB of RAM and the process is now much better.
I see that the Render settings also makes a huge difference in speed, but also in quality.

I will search for a tutorial or two about this options and just experimenting till I get the best recipe.

I don't mind rendering say 800 X 600 until I am satisfied and then do one bigger super slow but good quality bigger render.

Thanks anyway for the interest and support.

By the way, with this one topic I have seen that this forum get more knowledge in answers than most other.

Thanks for all the reply.
I have now ordered another Gig of RAM at about R300-00 ($42.00).

I only have the Home edition of XP.

Here's how you can tell Windows XP Pro (doesn't work on Home) to allow 3 GB of address space per process instead of the normal 2 GB.

• open c:boot.ini in a text editor (Notepad), the easiest way to do this is to right-click the My Computer icon, choose Properties, tab Advanced, button Startup and Recovery, and then choose the button to edit startup options manually.
• add the text '/3GB' to the end of the line that reads 'multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)WINDOWS="Windows XP ...'
• and save.
  After the next reboot, Windows will allow programs to use up to 3 GB of (virtual) memory each, instead of the normal 2 GB. Poser 7 can make use of this extra GB. Earlier versions of Poser cannot.

My Boot.ini looks like this:
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect

Can I add the text '/2GB' to it as you have suggested for the XP pro or will Windows goes nuts?
In the device Manager I can see that my page file is between 1536 and 3072 MB, with the total page file size at 1536MB.
I have tried in the past to increase it here but Windows does not allow that.

Hi,
I came accross this utility that may be what you are searching for

**nruddock,

Thanks, it is working.
I saw the function, but I was not prepared to try in fear of wiping something.

Ok, maybe I have not explained properly.
I know how to add a single prop to the library and add and edit the thumbnail so that it always can be used later.

I want to add say six or more items of props and objects at once to the library as a .pp2 file and not as a scene (.pz3 file). I want to be able to call up my whole scene from the library of Poser7 and I want to see via the thumbnail what scene I am loading.

I do not want to open a scene file for which I must search through the Windows's file search window and to look seperate at loose thumbnails or pictures to know which one I am loading.

It was done with the DM Abraxas set, so it must be able to be done with the DM Lost Lands as well.

How?
