Well Poser is now fully operational on my second hard drive, and after defragging maybe I can reinstall Vue4 and get it to recognize Poser. Many thanks to Cooler,Tasquah,Dreamspinner, Lon Chaney, Cruzan, and Geoegress for you patience and help. I have manage to not screw up XP for a year...and din't want to start by doing something I was not sure of. I had to reformat my Win98 machine so many times I am surprised I didn't wear out the disk. Once again...many thanks
