I dont know if it makes a difference, but I had forgotten to turn the IK off on borh legs, but this didnt happen untell I changed her pose for about the 3rd or 4th time.

Hi Deni and Hi Phil and thank you both.

Phil, when you say reboot, do you mean close poser then open it back up, or close poser then reboot my computer?

I will save her first of course.

It seems to be connected to her right toe because if I select her right tow, then make it invisible, it goes away but f course the whole front of her foot disapears with it.LOL

I know I can close Poser and then reopen it and start all over, but I was hoping to save her so I wont have to recreate her.LOL

LOL, I understand and no I didnt put my Poser 7 runtime into Poser 8. Thank God.LOL. I was just wondering if I could. I have uninstalled Poser 8 again. I just don't know what else to do. Poser 7 still works, but I was so looking forward to the new Poser 8. I am glad I didn't pay full price for it. What I did see of it, it looks pretty good. But just before I uninstalled it the 3rd time, i tried it once more and now the skin textures are giving me that message. So now skin, clothes and hair textures, wont load.LOL. I followed the exact instructions, too.Sigh.... I know it has to be something I am doing (or not doing) But I can't fgure it out. I didn't have this problem with Poser 7.

But thatnk you everyone for trying to help me out. I totally appreciate it. More than you know...

Hugs, Paula

*"Don't copy the Poser 7 Runtime to the Poser 8 Runtime. Just add the Poser 7 Library as another Poser 8 Library."

The first time I did as you said and the problem was there.

So, does that mean I need to install all the stuff that needs to be in the main Poser 8 runtime, instead of just moving it from the Poser 7 main runtime?

Also, I was told I could add my external runtimes that I use in Poser 7, and add them (link them) to my Poser 8.

It is those that wont load the textures of the clothes or hair and stuff.

Sorry if I seem thick. I am not savvy to all this.LOL

Thanks for all the help

None if it worked. Still the same messages.

I think me having Poser 8 is not meant to be.

And to top it all off, I have no idea why, but after removing poser 8 and all of its other stuff, it removed some things from my Poser & runtimes. I just dont get it

Another question

I have Poser 7. Do I copy  Poser 7's MAIN runtime  and paste it into Poser 8's main runtime?

Or

Do I just add it along with my external runtimes in Poser 8?

I havent opened Posr 8 yet

ok will give this all a try. I will be back to let you know if it worked.LOL. Thank you so much for your help.

By The way, the Alyson hair that comes with her loads fine and renders fine.

Also, it said the poser 8 content (and legend) did not install, but yet Alyson and Ryan and the dog, etc are there. So does that mean it did install even though it said it didnt? LOL Weird thing.

Ok then do I reinstall Poser 8 again?

And I havent been unistalling it when I do that. I dont know how. I thought maybe when reinstalling it, it will overwrite the original? Am I wrong?

I use WIndows Vista

Ithink so. I clicked next whatever it chose

Now I have all the Poser 8 thingsi n one folder on an eternal drive (That is where I downloaded the zips and unzipped them)

Then I installed Poser 8 onto my main C drive and left it alone.

I hope I dont HAVE tohave the Poser content and legend content installed because for some reason it will not installed even though it was selected to install. After Poser 8 completes installation, I get 2 pop up messages. One saying the legend content did not install and the poser content did not install (and that they were not found). Weird because I did exactly whay the PDF instrustion said to do (for unzipping, installing, etc)

I just do not get it.
