I've started to lose a lot of work this way, usually on my larger Poser scenes with more than 1 figure.
I save my work and shut down Poser in the normal way.  When I fire up my pc next time and reload there's nothing there - the main document window doesn't open and all I have is grey screen and the rest of the Poser interface.
I can only assume the Poser gremlins have messed up my pz3 while I was asleep.
Anyone else get this?

Are you perhaps using PMD files?  Go to General Preferences and uncheck Use External Morph Data.  Can't remember whic tab, but it's not hard to find.  This won't save your old files, but will prevent it from happening in the future.

Hey thanks.  I did it.  I also tried reloading the pz3 and quite a bit came back.  One of the figures was missing but I've got something to start from.

That's great, Richard!  Glad you were able to save some of your work.

If you have an old scene with pmd info , you can try renaming the pmd file , so it wont be found , then load the scene . Reload any morphs to the figure and y6ou may have recovered the scene.

(this was from an old post about recovering scenes that wont load , its worth a try )

Thanks to both of you.  Seems like those pmd files are more trouble than they're worth.
