The Props library content from my Poser 7 runtime abruptly vanished and I can't tell why. The Props folder itself did not disappear, so I hadn't accidentally either deleted or moved the folder as a whole. None of the content has appeared in the recycle bin, (or as far as I can see, in any other runtime). Again, as far as I can see, the other Poser 7 libraries seem intact, as do the other runtimes in general.
I've re-installed Poser 7 and anything G2-related which had props in it, so I am roughly back to where I was before, but I'd be quite keen for this not to happen again.
Does anybody have any ideas, please?

What OS are you using? Did you install it when logged in as a user rather than an administrator? Are you logged in as an administrator now or a user, (or different user)?

Very odd. 
That happened to all of someone's texture library recently.

*To PhilC: * It's Win XP. I always log in in the same way, so I suppose that that means I am doing so as the administrator. Certainly, the way I was logged in when I originally installed Poser 7 will have been the same as the way in which I was logged in when the problem occurred.
*To mylemonblue: * That other link does look similar. I have given PC Inspector a go, without dramatic results, so far. Since I have the Poser installation file and the content installation files, I have probably pretty well replaced what was lost already, but I wouldn't want to think that I could be randomly losing folders from now on. Losing the textures folder (as in the linked thread) would be the kind of nightmare that nightmares have nightmares about.

First a whole Texture folden, now a whole Props folder lost.
Thank God I'm still using P6.
I think it will be a long while before I trust my content to P7.

I have an open question to the community. Does anyone remember the actual date of that last ultra critical update for XP/Vista?
I didn't notice this kind of thing happening after P7's last patch but it seems this first started right around the time of that last big ultra critical XP/Vista security update. That kind of gives me the willies.
