The bottom line is that ANYTHING I load into the working area, figures, props, etc is basically invisible (no matter what display setting I choose)! The only way one would know that there is a figure there is by selecting a body part in the work area as I have done here with Mikey's right thigh where that body part becomes faintly visible as seen in this capture! The scenario is that I was happily working back and forth between VUE4 and Poser4 last nite...called it a nite to finally watch Van Helsing...what a disjointed plot that was '-)...and when I opened Poser this AM to do a few pre-work tweaks this is what I have run into! I *did* install an "InterActual Player" set-up to access some of the features but have since removed that hoping that may have been the issue but to no avail! I have tried at least five uninstall/reinstalls as well... Also! As you may have noticed in this capture...when I do enlarge the work area what you see here is what happens! AND I have tried to use system restore...but to add to my misery...for some reason my 'puter (less than a month old...btw) can not access any of these points!! Please! Any help/ideas/suggestions would be so greatly appreciated 'cuz my VUE4/5 render get REAL lonely without some Poser figures in 'em '-)! Thanks in advance, ==steve==
