R U logged on as user or share anyone? (ie: rite click on drive in windows explorer - left click on sharing and security) I have my curious labs folder set w/share on network and allow network users to change files. When i first setup sharing I was logged as admin as I was setting up remote control - when I logged onto my computer later - my name didn't have access (trying to protect important stuff from bad hubby user on lan ;0) to do anything but read... I just changed any user can change files on Poser5 folder and subdirectories (keep most my runtimes on a whole other drive) and weird errors ended. Also, dont forget the updates if you havent done that yet.

uhmm, what do you mean share your c: unit? R U on lan with share set (read and write, or read only), what OS, how much harddisk free [make sure defragged], if on lan are you trying to access P5 from another system via remote control or just mapped drive?

did you select her head? I havent had her installed in a long time as work with v2 and 3 but you have to select her head to get the dials to work with her.

Here HERE - another girl/person who would rather see 'Nother Mike In A Temple With Nothin' On With A Sword..... rather than NVIATWaS Thanks for the smile and glad me not only person hungrily awaiting M3! I am blond blue eyed 45 year old and trust me - no one wants to see me in some of the getups I have seen! btw - did you see the Real Men Pinups contest? Some nice looking boys there but most folks forget about clothes... Ah well.... Again, thanks for smile.

If you are going to join (which I consider my best investment EVER) - would suggest getting a lifetime membership as their stuff is well worth it! Price tag now is $150 and you get a lot more than you do at platinum club at DAZ (ok investment but am spoiled by steve at pw with so much selection) and no additional cost [$1.99] for new items.

Check how much free hard drive you have for virtual mem. I am using p4 2.8 1g and vmem set to initial 4096 to max4096 (Quik reminder: Start | Control Panel | System | Advanced | Settings btn under performance | Advanced tab | Virtual memory Change btn then set custom to 4096/4096 on a nice harddrive with free space). I have monitored my renders - and can guarantee you that a clean disk with lots of harddrive is very very important to keep the Render Firefly Production going [no lockup] - so assume that when you go to hair/mat/etc - it is grabbing harddisk with the texture/smooth shaded display on. Once a week I do a defrag on all drives on xppros from admin tools as they get well used by office and all 3d programs. Good Luck and by all means make sure you are running the sr2.1 at least (sr3 works on 98 laptop but been 2 chicken to try on XPpro)

well when item is selected - you get one cross which is green and one that is red. I had something that I needed to bend forward only on its own so I put the green cross at very edge on lower part of item where it needed to rotate from then moved the red cross out to create a line of rotation. Not sure of the words to describe but is one of dr. geeps tutorials here regarding props. I just followed his instrucs to tee and it worked perfectly.

Where is the rotation point on the jewels? I had a similar problem with a character and using the joint editor I moved the actual rotation point to top of item and then moved the line in which it should move when rotated. (dr. geep tutorial on this which I followed to the tee!)

Flash is a vector output and poser is pixel - export the pictures as png files then import the png files as movie with flash. Is best way to get good clear pics with bitmap vs vector. I am assuming you have flash otherwise this isnt going to help you much.

got psp7 and photoshop5.5 - if i am working on a flash or illustrator vector - i use photoshop. for all other works, i find that working with psp (which also lets you use plugins from adobe) layers is best. I also use it with the uvmapperpro and couldnt be happier.

check threads - lots. seems to be mostly dialup problem - try using download manager like getright is best suggestion. others have gotten it right on 3rd download.

1. Success or Unsuccessful? [X] I've had no install problems at all [ ] I had to download the installer ___ times before it worked [ ] I'm still getting the CRC error message (___ failed download[s]) 2. Client Used? [X] Browser (IE Version 6_, Netscape Version ___, others: ___________) [ ] Download manager (GetRight, others: ____________) 3. ISP Details? [ ] Dialup [X] DSL [CABLE] [ ] T1 or bigger [ ] My ISP uses a proxy server [X] I have a personal firewall enabled One thing to bring up on Dialup - My mom uses dialup and if she gets a phone call while downloading - messes her download but doesnt seem to stop it (even with * turn off call waiting) and she gets errors in downloaded files.

My understanding is that when an animation is rendered; the harddisk is hit hard - possibly try defrag/scandisk? I cant render with low mem laptop but sr3 on desktop will render but settings tried production firefly with raytrace, shadows and bucket 16 bounce 5 only. However, was a 690 frame animation and it did fine with png which I then import into flash and looked good (for flash ;-0). Havent tried avi.

ohh, that means steven segal [good guy] right :-) Did you check the ninja outfit at daz? also, believe in freebies at poserstyle is mask but not full face and at RDNA is catsuit for mike. Hope that info helps.
