heyas; okay, i run p5, and this error message pops up -- it can't find its libraries directory. when i open the libraries in poser, it also pops this message up again, and won't let me point it to any runtime. most likely this occurs because i moved p5 from my old machine's p:p5 directory to my new machines f:sp5 directory, and it can't figure out the new tree. any ideas on how to fix this, short of a reinstall? :/ if only poser had a simple txt ini file!!

Poser stores the runtime libraries info in: RuntimeprefsLibraryPrefs.xml On a couple of occasions when I was guilty of (foolishly) moving and re-naming runtime libraries outside of Poser 5, I had to delete the file because Poser had problems subsequently re-starting. Deleting the file allows Poser to re-create another one (with just the Download library present). You will of course need to point P5 to your library locations again, but at least you'll be up and running. (backup the old LibraryPrefs.xml first JIC of any - unlikely - problems)
