Subject: Questions about PBoost

I am running windows 2000 and want to use PBoost to organize my files some (funny how things pile up after a year)....but when I ran the PBoos compatability tester, it says that windows has locked the libraries...so PBoost would not run properly. Is there a way to unlock the libraries with windows? or...what functionality will be lost with PBoost if it is not able to be unlocked? (as far as I read, it is just that it will not be able to make changes while poser is running....is that all?) Would it still be worth the purchase even with this limited functionality? Rawnrr

You can unlock the libraries with a free utility called Correct Reference. It searhes through your textures folder and cleans up the references between them and the objects which use 'em. Incorrect file references are the primary cause of file locking in Poser. Once your textures folder is in apple pie order, run the compatibility test again. When you start to use PBooost, run CR every time you install something new. Word of warning, a first time run of CR can take hours.

The only thing it'll stop you doing is swapping the folders over when poser is running, nothing else is affected by the locked folders. Even with this limit it's still an essential program to have, I've been using it since August last year & I don't think I could manage poser without PBooost.

Hi, I feel stupid again, but what should I do when it says "file not found". I am not sure on that point. Thank you in advance. Warm Regards, Nancy Deer With Horns (SophiaDeer)
