I didn't do anything different, but now when I render in P7 they are coming up blank. What can be wrong, please help!

ACK! I've had that happen to me in p6 for no reason at all. I'm not sure if its the same problem tho, but its worth a shot. I saved my file, closed poser and rebooted, then went back in and reopened and it would render okay.
Hope that does it.

Yes, this happens sometimes if poser has been doing repeated renders for a certain amount of time at least in my experience. Sometimes a reboot will fix the problem. Other times this has happened to me when there was something in the scene that poser must not have liked and it caused a conflict. When it was removed then rendering was no problem.

I tried rebooting and now when I try to open the PZ3 it crashes, grrrrrr It's just V4 with wings, nothing else.........

Since you are using V4 do you have the use external binary morph targets un-checked in your preferences? This has seemed to cure the PZ3 from crashing when you open it.

I just rebooted and opened another PZ3 and it is rendering, so I just can't figure out what poser didn't like with the other PZ3..........sigh!

Sometimes it's a prop, texture or even a figure poser is just strange that way. LOL! Glad you got her rendering again.

glad you were able to get it working! and i agree, i've had problems rendering and opening files when it has item "x" in it......... yet it will be able to use item "x" at other times, lol who knows!

Just to make sure - you aren't by any chance rendering in a separate process and using a firewall? If so, make sure you're allowing communication between FFRender and Poser. Quote from the P7 readme:
Quote - New in version 7 is the option to render in a separate process. In order to communicate with the render process, Poser uses sockets. Some personal firewall software mistakenly reports this as an attempted connection to the internet. If you wish to render in a separate process, you will have to allow network communication on localhost (127.0.0.1) in your personal firewall software for Poser.exe and FFRender.exe.
