Update: Problem Solved! I simply copied my Old Runtime directory INTO my new one (After backing up both) - do NOT overwrite any existing files! Now Poser 11 can launch, and all my old content is right where it needs to be! =)

I like to keep filepaths simple to make things easier to find - my content directory is simply D:> Poser 11>Runtime. I need my old P11 content to work on this filepath because several other 3rd party programs look there for my Poser content. Also not really sure what will happen with things like textures if I change directory names. I'm envisioning a ton of "cannot find file XXX" errors then I'd have to manually redirect where it's looking for things. Hopefully someone else will have some insight... but thank you for trying!

When I backed up my old Runtime I renamed it "Runtime Lifeboat". After I reinstalled Poser, I took the new Runtime directory and renamed it "New Runtime". Then I copied "Runtime Lifeboat" into the same directory and changed it's name back to simply "Runtime" allowing me to switch the new RT for my Old RT while preserving the New RT. What this did was allow me to swap between the 2 directories by simply changing which one was named "Runtime". This is how I was able to determine that one directory works (the new one) and one doesn't (my old one).

What I did was backup my Runtime Folder, then Uninstall my old Poser, Reinstall the new Poser - then I copied my old Runtime directory back into the new directory (After preserving the new one - just as a precaution). Starting poser with the new Runtime directory works fine - however with the Old Runtime it crashes out (no error).

After i've unistalled and reinstalled Poser 11 - how do I get my Runtime directory back?

The file IS listed in the Free Stuff library - error makes it seem like a bandwidth issue, was hoping you guys might still have it on file. Will try Becco_UK though I don't have much hope since it looks like they have been gone for a very long time. Thanks for the assistance!

Heh, been using Poser for well over 10 years and never edited a pose directly using a text editor. Took a few attempts of trial and error, but I got it to work! Thank you so much! I even discovered to my delight that the edited file will work on multiple figures - so long as the body part names are consistent! Thanks again!
