Is the that folder there when you look for it using Windows Explorer?

those are the correct pathways to the poser files. I used the default installation and have never changed them to anything else. It makes it easier that way or so I thought!

are you sure your path is correct? Poser usually only does that if something is messed up & can't find the correct path to the files.

Yes, they are the correct paths, but does the folder still exist? Can you navigate to it using Explorer? It may have been accidentally deleted or damaged.

The folders are there. I don't have a problem going to them using IE. All my files are in the folders, P5 just can't seem to find them. I don't know what happpen. Last night P5 worked fine. I closed the program and went to sleep and woke up to find this mess! I really don't understand this error at all. I wonder if something happened to the P5 exe file so that it can't find the files....

Could be. I've found I have to reinstall Poser once in awhile; it tends to get corrupt over time. Also check and see how much free space you have on your hard drive.

83 gigs of free space so I don't think that is the problem. Going to reload poser and see what happens....

Hi, Does the same problem occure also in the RUNTIME library Not in the Download folder? As far as I know there is a limit of CHARS in the path to a file(not sure how many) can you copy the Pose directory to your RuntimeLibrariesPose Not in Download and try loading the Pose from there. Once I hade a problem with a figure and I went delete the RSR file for the Geometries OBJ file and it fix it - BUT you have a problem with pose.... I'm not sure how this can help. Try ReInstall Poser thats what I think will help Regards, aryeguetta

Looks to me like you deleted the 'Downloads' runtime that poser installed. Poser doesn't like it when you do that. It turns green and it turns angry. Just put the Downloads runtime back and all will be well. Even if you don't use it, it has to be there.

Hmmm, I did delete folder. It was just sitting there empty and I hate empty folders on my harddrive. It is so messy. Going to try that now. Thanks Butch

'cannot find' can mean so many different things. You keep having to guess what Poser can't find most of the time. Process of elimination works wonders. ;)

Well I got P5 to run again and find the libraries. I had to copy my entire Runtime folder into the Downloads folder to do. Now, I'll go back and slowly delete things out of the Download folder. I shouldn't need to have two complete runtime folders of the Same thing in poser to make it work!

I managed to get taht fixed by unziping a poser item into the runtime, the error missages went away.

You must have deleted the directory while it was still selected as the current Runtime. When you started Poser again, it tried to create the normal library folder structure (it does in each Runtime you link) and couldn't hence the create errors.

You can't delete the Downloads runtime. Even if it's not the current runtime, Poser will be very unhappy if you delete it.
