I had installed poser5 on the C drive but now have a new install of Poser5 on it's own drive.
How should I remove Poser from the C drive?
In add/remove programs only one Poser5 is listed...and I dont know if that is the one on the C drive or on the Poser drive????
Can I just delete the Whole Poser folder from the C drive?
Thanks in advance for any help on this

Yes, you can just delete that folder. One thing you may run into however, is that windows won't associate .pz3's with your new installation of P5. Your best bet would have been to uninstall, then reinstall on the new drive. But how it is, sure, you can delete that folder. I even transferred mine to a different drive with copy/paste.

If windows doesn't associate *.pz3 files with Poser, it will just ask you what Program you want to open them with. Or you could change the file association in the registry, which is what I had to do 'cause I have P5 and PPP on my system.

no need to do a regisry hack to change file associations. right click on any pz3 file for properties, click the opens with tab, hit browse, and then actually browse to the location on the hard drive of the new p5 exe.

Yeah, but with PPP and P5 on the system all winxp was seeing was a 'poser executable file' and that opened with PPP, even when I navigated to P5 and checked 'always use this program...'. So It may be necessary, but with only one Poser.exe, i doubt it.

What about situtaions like mine in which I can't delete Poser 5 using either Poser's uninstall option or the Windows Add/Remove Programs option because both give error messages to the effect that the uninstall log is missing or corrupt or something like that? Can I just reinstall Poser 5 again over the old installation, or are their registery files, etc. that I need to modify manually?

Terry, yes you can reinstall over the top. No problems with that that I have encountered. I've even done it a couple times.
