I've downloaded Poser textures for a long time. Last night, I downloaded three. I can't find one of them. I can find them in their proper places when I search, but when I open Poser 7., I can't find them in the pose libraries. They are textures for V4.2 and M4. I've restarted the computer several times, but nada!

Are they textures or materials? Materials can only be found in the Material Room. Then there's a library entry for materials, and they will be in there.
If they're textures, you may not have a MAT pose and may have to apply them manually.

Beth is correct. If the files are only textures, they will not show up in the poser library at all. You will have to enter the material room and apply them to each material section of your model.

They are three characters that are for M4 and V4.2. I'm probably not saying it right. But they are "Poser people." When I search, I see them in the Pose libray. I've been purchasing "people" for years. This is the first time I can't open any of them in Poser 7.

If you can tell us what you got and where from, it will be easier to provide assistance.

If you see them in the pose library with windows , they should be in the same place within Poser. Make a note of the exact folder path and check in poser, look for any missing thumbnails . Lower case file names are at the bottom of the library list.

I have to admit with a red face that I've just now discovered a massive "Operator error." The other day, I was trying to save a texture in Program files/e frontier/poser 7. After I clicked, the Poser 7 folder disappeared. About an hour later, it seemed to come back. But it contained only a few megabytes of data. Somehow, my "misclick" moved 11.2 gigabytes of Poser 7 data into a magically created Poser 7 folder in my earthlink mail folder, located just below the e frontier folder. I have two computers. I can open the new character textures in the Pose library on the second computer. But the bad news is that even after I transferred the Poser 7 data back to the Poser 7 folder in e frontier, and reinstalled the character textures over what was previously installed, I still can't find them in Poser 7 of my primary computer. Should I have first deleted all the previous installs? I am still working on this. Uh oh, confusing you? Thanks to all who have offered me help!
