HI:

Just bought Poser 7.  The problem I have
deals with it crashing.  I set up a poser scene, save it then reopen it no problem.  Then I simply repose the characters in the scene, save then when I try to reopen it later, poser 7 starts crashing.  It is very frustrating, all that work posing a figure in a scene, not changing a single other thing, and the scene will no longer reopen once it is saved and closed again...maddening.
I've tried this many other times with the exact same out come I am really upset!

Any help or similiar stories please

Turn off the option to save external binary morphs, it apparently causes problems with reloading.

Yes, I had the same MAJOR problem with P7, and wasn't fixed in SR1.

Might be smartest to turn ALL of them off.  But if you are hurting for harddrive space, compress the files.   I find it strange that "external binary morphs" function is ON by default, yet this is the problem. 

All files that had the binary morphs saved to them are Ruined.  You've lost this work, just as I have lost work as well.

Delete or rename the external morphs filer so it CAN NOT be found. Sometimes Poser will load the scene , but you lose the morphs. Then you can re-inject the morphs and get the scene back .

Or so I have read in other Forums .

Good luck with that .

I just started having this same problem with P6...and I've been using it for over a year with no problems before now! It has been a very frustrating last couple days.
Thanks for the info...tried it and now my scene is saved!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

I have just gotten done reformatting my hard drive and reinstalling all my programs.  Then, when I got back into Poser 6, BAM!, the same thing happened.  I wonder if it has anything to do with the newest update.

Anyways, thanks again all.
