Following a registry corruption, I reinstalled Windows 2000 and all applications on my P4, 2.6 GHZ, 1GB RAM machine. Poser 5 ran fine on this exact system prior to the reinstall. Although all applications, including Poser 5 installed okay, I cannot get the SR3 service pack to run. It starts up, finds the Poser directory, then chugs away for a minute before complaining that I do not have enough space on my C: drive.
The C: partition (containing only Win2000 with all the latest patches) is over 10GB, of which 5GB is available. Why on earth is this SR exe unable to run with that much free space?
I have been unable to contact Curious Labs support -- their voice mail boxes are invariably "full" (so it is impossible to leave a message) and they seem to ignore e-mail requests (I've sent the same question three times). This forum is my last hope. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Have you tried installing on a different partition? And if you want to keep trying on C, I'd suggest defragging before trying again. Other than that, I have no idea.

There seems to be something wrong. You say the C partition has 5 GB free out of 10, after only having Win2K installed? Another thing that might work, is that perhaps instead of having the SR3 automatically detect where your Poser installation is, choose the location manually instead. I had a simliar situation when Pro Pack's SR3 wouldn't install when it found it automatically, but was happy as a bug in a rug when I located it manually.
