This has to be the best way to give any Gen 4 character pantyhose without having to deal with poke through. Thanks BB and everyone that has posted info on this thread. I especially would like to thank GeneralNutt for his help in assisting me with the .txt issues I was having this morning.  I am looking forward to replacing most of my stocking and pantyhose props to gather dust in my runtime.

OK that fixed it. I guess it was like you said the security settings were hiding the .txt on the file. I really appreciate all the help you gave me to figure this out. Now I will have printed this thread out I will have to give it a try while I can look at it as I am working on it. Thanks a lot for all of your help.

I am using windows 7. I tried to change it in both locations it is saved in. I was unable to change it from a .txt file in either location. Looking at the file it doesn't say it is a .txt file until you click on it but the icon is a .txt icon. I appreciate the help I must be extra dense on this because I can't seem to figure what appears to be a simple problem out.

I tried that to no avail. I am trying to save it as Nylon.mt5 in the P8 materials room and it either saves it as a .txt file or tells me that I can not save it there and directs me to a location in my documents to save it.

OK I must be doing something wrong, I can not save your stocking file any othwre way than a .txt file. Even saving it in P8's material room does me no good. Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong?

Here is a little background on why I am asking. I have designed and have been making a digital comic book that is posted on line. Several of my characters have been created in P7 and P8, using base figures that are in P6. I realise it would be easy to instal PP10 and then load the P7 and P8 figures and save them in PP10 and I can delete P8 from my hard drive. I would also like to get rid of P6 since I don't have a whole lot on it other than some background props I use and my base V4, and M4 figures. Forgive my lack of knowledge of the Poser nuts and bolts, but once I save a custom figure do I still have to have the base figure as a source or does it become its own figure? If that is the case, I could delete both 6 and 8 and just reload the stuff I need that is on 6 right now. I think once I find that ellusive "Posers for Dummies" I can better understand the program I am using, but right now I know that I do not use anywhere near the full potential of Poser.

I was hoping to avoid installing another version of Poser on my computer. I guess I need to start hunting for all of the files that I want to keep from poser 6 so that I can take it off. I have to many PZ3 files from other projects on Poser 7 to delete it. Is it possible to consolidate runtimes? Move installed runtime files from Posers 6&7 and install them in Poser 8?

OK I can see that I really should have look harder to find an existing thread, if nothing else than to prevent a rehashing of an old argument. Can someone please lock this thread so at least some of the information might be helpful to someone else before it gets deleted? Once again thanks to everyone who assisted me.

OK everyone here is an update for you. I got it to work. I started at the top and did pretty much every suggestion someone made and after reinstalling Adobe reader 10 I opened Poser 8 and got the load Adobe 10 in the library window so I loaded it again and after it loaded I shut it down and restarted and the library was there. I want thank Isaoshi for the suggestion and yes, it is a big lollipop. :) BB I want to thank you most of all for being patient with a Computer moron such as myself. I will use the search engine firtst in the future instead of looking through a few pages and then creating a new thread on something that has already been done. You all have been very helpful and I thank you all for your support.

Welcome Ariana, I hope that out of this we all get our issues fixed.

As I have not installed anynew programs in the last 10 days or downloaded any updates in about the same period can you think of anything that would cause this or give me an idea on where to look? I am almost to the point of getting rid of P8 altogether since it has been such a headache, but I felt that way going from P6 to P& and now I love P7 so I really want to give it a chance.

bagginsbill,

OK, maybe I am more computer illiterate than I first thought LOL! I will try to give you the information you need and not what I THINK you are looking for so here goes,

Quote OK. But the error is saying "I'm not allowed to talk to Poser or Poser is not allowed to talk to me."

Quote - I checked my Windows 7 firewall by clicking on the "allow programs to communicate
through Windows Firewall" and it shows that all of my poser files are allowed.

Again, how would you know?Quote

I went the control panel and opened up the firewall, I then clicked on the sidebar that said "Allow programs to communicate" and made sure that Poser 6,7&8 all were in allowed access through the firewall. They were there.

QuoteHave you tried disabling the firewall temporarily to see if that makes Poser work? If not, try that. I'm not suggesting this as a permanent solution. Just seeking data.Quote

I just got finished doing that and it made no difference. I am going to stop right there because anything else I say would be a guess on my part and probably not very helpful. I really appreciate your helping me with this. I don't know if it means anything but it was mentioned by someone else about Adobe reader 10, I only have the trial version of 9.

Bagginsbill, I appologize for rehashing this but after 8 pages in this forum I gave up. When I said it was way past my ability, I ment about figuring out what the error was actually saying. I checked my Windows 7 firewall by clicking on the "allow programs to communicate through Windows Firewall" and it shows that all of my poser files are allowed. I am not finding a firewall setting on my anti-virus, witch is Kaspersky. At no time between when I shut Poser 8 down the last time and now when it gave me the error was I hooked up to the internet. My Kaspersky is out of date due to weather and a blackout preventing me from getting on line, but I do not know if that would have an effect on it or not. I probably know jsut enough about computers to be really dangerous to any that I own. I can install software and and work Poser just fine but I know if I start to poke around in the system I will destroy something important and make a nice $1500 paperweight

Thanks for all of the ideas on what this could be, I will give it a try after I get off work tonight. I will keep everyone informed and will post back if it corrected the issue or not.

I installed P8 about 3 weeks ago and it was working fine, I have not had the computer on line in the last 4 days due to weather and foced comms blackouts prior to this happening. I will attempt to copy what the error message says, it is on personal computer and I am currently on my work station.

Looking at it now it does appear to have something to do with the IE Browser but to be honest it is way past what I know about computers. I checked my firewll and it is letting Poser access without any issues.
