The external runtime that I had all of my runtimes on decided to go caputs on me. I can't say I'm surprised because it ate all of my files that I saved on it during a computer reformat, back in October and I had to reinstall all of my runtimes from scratch. A few days ago the drive gave me a funny error and I didn't want to take any chances, so I moved all of my files to my laptop and filled it to capacity and formatted the external drive. I then moved my runtimes back to the drive. It worked well...for a day but then yesterday I got some funny error again and this time when I rebooted I was prompted to do a scan and fix. So I did. Now just awhile ago I got a similar funny error about not being able to save some file, and now my drive is no longer being recognized and I can't see it. Based on my last experience in October when that happened, the only fix was to format the drive using my desktop which allows me to see the drive in management, but freezes up the computer in other areas, and I lost all of my runtimes, which I then had to install from scratch. Let me tell you it's not fun to reinstall 13 gigs of compressed files once, let alone again less than 2 months later. So I'm done with Poser until I can get a larger external drive, that works and I'm not sure when that will be. I'm not going to waste my time reinstalling files again, only to lose them again to a faulty drive. I enjoy Poser, but not to that degree. I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas or whatever holiday you celebrate this time of year.

heart whatever they might have to
