thanks for the help.

i don't understand fully what to do :S
My DVD drive is D:..but what do you mean by "search for that (or "" as Poser format paths should only use ":" as the separator)"
sorry im not too good at understanding things lol

Yeh i have used the prop successfully on Poser 6 and at that time i had all the same drives as i do now. Iv done some searching on google and people have had problems like this with other programs. People have said to run a scan on HijackThis.
I ran a scan and heres the Logfile if anyone can make anything of it :)

Thanks alot for everyone who replied. I still have the problem but if this is any help..

When the "Windows-No Disk" error is up, i went into the Windows Task Manager and clicked on applications, i right clicked on the Windows - No Disk error and clicked on go to processes.. The process which is highlighted is - csrss.exe -

thanks for replying. I have tried putting a disk in, it lets me use poser a little longer without the error message coming up, but it still comes up.

The props i downloaded where in a ZIP file so i moved the files to the correct locations -runtime-libraries-props etc..
Im not using an external hard drive, i only have the one hard drive which the content is on and all of the content is saved in the main runtime-libraries-props location.

One thing i don't think iv installed right are the textures. I have moved the textures around into new folders in the -runtime-textures-..... to organize them, im not sure if that could be the problem.

Thanks again for the replys.

EDIT: sorry if this was posted in the wrong section!
I have just joined so havn't really looked around the forums fully.
