Check out Poser arcana for tutorials...they should have some good ones. But, yes, you can make your own MAts, and yes (in pro pack) you can bone and regroup props as characters. good luck! BT

Hi...Ran into this myself with the newer models and high res textures and fought it tooth and nail. Similar system specs, too...(750 p3, 512 megs)I found the easiest fix was to upgrade to Win ME , as it manages memory better (so I was told). It worked well from then on..If you can find a copy of ME on the cheap, it's worth it. 2K may be more trouble than it's worth in terms of compatibilty with your 98 programs. Give that a shot... BT
