Yup, "color management off" it is indeed. But I have been thru the whole nine yards there too, tried 'em all, and it still dont seem to fix the prob. :( Ta, Dreamer101 !

Fully agreed with Alpha there, the bottom line is... What do you want to use it for ? I would also go with Slynky "if price is not an issue, get photoshop" definitely. Some other nice features in Photoshop include the text editing capabilities, preset manager, and the actions. And of course there are a mutlitude of resources, tuts, and support on the net for Photoshop, definitely more than for PSP. Granted, most of the stuff done in PS, can probly be done in PSP too, but with greater difficulty, and more effort. In my opinion, PSP7 is about the equivalent of Photoshop 4. But as you know Photoshop is the industry standard... surely there must be a reason for that ? :)

I can see the problem here, that u cant get into PS to change the settings. The best I can suggest is to try locate the prefs file or an ini,cfg, or similar, and try to trash that to reset the options, or edit it if possible. I know under PS Ver.6 in win2k the prefs file is stored under "C:Documents and SettingsusernameApplication DataAdobePhotoshop6.0Adobe Photoshop 6 SettingsAdobe Photoshop 6 Prefs.psp" hopefully if you trash that it will reset the options. Otherwise you could try copying the file from someone else and overwrite yours. IF you can remember how u set the scratch disks, the best is to try create at least 100-200MB of freespace on those drives, maybe it will start up. Hope this helps :)

Yeeha !! the patch fixed my prob. She works fine now, but still looks rather bland, coz i can't yet figger out how to do all the texturing of the eyes, and those big ugly 'plastic' eyebrows. (what are they for anyway ) Hiram, as far as I can see, CL only has the 4.0.3 patch out, and it is available for the mac too. This should take you straight there: http://www.curiouslabs.com/products/poser4/html/poser4EnglishUpdater.html Fanx again for the help guys !! :) Off to search for Vicky2 texture tutorials... ;)

Thanx all so much for the help !! I am downloading the 4.0.3 patch as we speak... or surf ;) Hope it does the trick !! Ta ! :)

PS. I don't know if this has anything to do with Poser4 or Windows2000 SP2, which is my current OS. Knowing Microsoft, it wouldn't surprise me.. hehe. :)

Thanx for all the help & tips folks ! Much appreciated ! Ghostofmacbeth, I have left a message for him.... hope he gets it !! Ta :) Carolly, I have been looking all over the net for a cube like that; just cannot find one.... hehe. Continuing my "quest for the cube..." Luthor.

Ok guys ! Thanx a million for all the help & tips. :) I found the problem... it was a set of 9 freeware plugins I got off the Computer Arts magazine's cover CD... I think they might have been only for the mac, but as soon as I removed them, everything was 100%. And as for buyng a G4 ?? Not on my salary.. hehehe... Thanx guyz ! Luthor :)

Thanx Strangechilde As you might have guessed, I am a beginner myself, so I think I'll pass up on the magnets & stuff for now, sounds a bit creepy to me still. Thanx for clarifying that PhilC ! :) Is there any such a piece of clothing that would fit Posette without too much magnetic influence ? ;) I really like this wrap-style clothing, and would like to do a historical sort of image if only I can find one that fits nicely. Jackson, as I have noted in my original post, the conform command messes up everything.. hehe. Thanx guyz ! Luthor :)

Thanx Wizard I actually used the wrap by PhilC from the freestuff galleries, does that not fit on the P4 woman ?? I have noticed that not even the standard clothes in poser itself fit any of the models properly, and they don't even conform half accurate to different poses... is this a bug in the program ??? Ta. Luthor :)

Thanx for getting back here Angela :) Most appreciated. Ouchie @ the neighbor's car into your house ! Not so nice at all... I'm gonna fiddle a bit with this now, found 1 or 2 tuts here, I'll see how it goes. I'll try the settings u mentioned, thanx a bunch for the help again. Hope u get the insurance sorted out OK :) Tara ! Luthor :)

Hey Angela Thanx a lot for the tips there, I can do the painting bits yeah, got Painter6, and PS6 too, I just need to figger out what settings to use, etc etc, to apply them correctly, coz mine always end up skew as heck... lol. But thanx for the hints there, I'll have a looky round for some tut's. Ta. Luthor :) PS. I just LOVED your comments on "trans and bums", hehehe. ;)

Ta,Cozmic ! Holler Holler Holler !!!! LOL Yup, I thought of that one too,(sfc.exe) I did replace the dll with the original one, but unfortunately that didn't do it for me... I'm thinking it might be hardware ? OK, so far I have tried everything you kind folks suggested with no luck, I'll probably just learn to live with it, coz I am now fed up with windows, and seriously addicted to caffeine, nicotine, and I'm thinking of something stronger... LOL Fanx a 10e+6 to all u luvly peeples !! Luthor :)

Thanx a lot there Picky. I do have a span of plugins yeah, from Eye Candy4000 to SuperBladePro, KPT 3, 5 & 6 and Convolver, and Xenofex & a good few more... I'll have to try eliminate them 1 by 1. Gonna take a while.. hehe Thanx for the tip though, I'll b sure to give it a shot. Luthor :)

Thanx for the reply there Cozmic ! I did indeed do a clean install from a blank HDD. I am running on a PIII 550MHz with 416Mb RAM, and a 32Mb Geforce2 MX card. I have all the latest drivers for all my hardware. I'll try the Ozone as well then. Thanx again man !! Luthor :)
