Got a small weirdness here, I hope it's something fairly basic that a relative newbie like me just hasn't figured out yet... (and yes, I've RTFM and I'm none the wiser)

I was installing a few downloaded models the other day and there were no texture paths in the .zip (no readme either), so I opened the .cr2 and discovered the textures were supposed to be nowhere near the Poser directory. I checked a few other model files, and found hardcoded paths leading to:

C:/Program Files/Metacreations/...
C:/Program Files/Creative Labs/poser/...
C:/My Documents/...

(FWIW, I have Poser installed on D:/Program Files/...)

Many of them also had relative paths from the Runtime folder, or just the filename, some with ":" as a separator -- are these created on a Mac?

Now, this mishmash of paths has me totally confused. Could this contribute to models loading slowly or causing Poser to fall over more frequently? How does Poser search for a texture and how hard does it try to find it in the hardcoded path?

When I started reading these forums a couple of months ago, I remember someone mentioned a program that's supposed to correct paths and file references. Does this program work for Poser 4.0.3 with Win98?

(No, I won't say "Help me, Obi-Wan, you're my only hope...")

(Oh, &@#%...)
