After using daz studio for a while I thought it was time for Poser 7. So I installed Poser, started playing with it, and decided to uninstall Daz Studio. But after uninstalling Daz Studio, Poser started giving an error. ASI32_12.dll is missing. So I thought the problem would be the uninstalation of Daz Studio. So I re-installed Daz Studio , but the problem isn't solved with this. I still get this error, and I'm getting really frustrated, because I really don't know enough about computers to know what this error means. Please, can someone explain what went wrong here? And more important; how to fix it? Thank you!

Sounds like the DAZ uninstaller decided that the copy of ASI32_12.dll in
Poser's folder was a "shared DLL", and removed it.  

If you've backed up your Poser installation on a CD or something, you
can just copy the DLL from the backup into the same directory as Poser.exe. 

Otherwise, you'll probably have to reinstall Poser 7.

I already did. 3 Times! I really don't understand why I can't find this file anywhere. And why re-installing Poser won't fix the problem.

Try re-installing into a non-default location like c:poser7 instead of the default
folder.   If that works, you can either move all your content into the new location,
or just set up the old location as a separate runtime.

For some reason this one DLL file causes all sorts of odd problems
with installation; seems like the installers think it's present when it isn't,
and vice versa.
