I'm getting the following error message when loading newly purchased content.  :-
"Texture could not be loaded. Image map file could not be found, or there is not enough memory to load."

This problem is not unique to Poser 8 as I also get it in Poser 7. I get the message when loading the content and also during a render. Strange thing is, every thing renders OK and I know it's not a memory issue so it's just a damn nuisance as I have to keep clicking "OK' before Poser will go any further.

All my "Runtimes" are external and I have them on another partition on my Hard Drive. I run Windows XP Pro. 64 Bit. Further I have found that I have less problems by having all my Runtime content refer to a "Full Path". This helps when importing my characters into Vue (By e-on).

Does any body else have this problem and know of a solution?

It might be that the image file is damaged.  I've had that happen to me with a few things.  Try seeing what it is by partitioning your image.  Load ONLY the figure texture, then render.  If that's not it, try the clothing, lights, different shaders, etc.  Sometimes, it's lights calling a misspelled or damaged texture, and you won't get the error beforehand with those.

Thanks JenX, anything is worth a try. I have a sneaking suspicion that it is a Poser Material Room issue though.

This seems to be a common theme. If I'm not mistaken it's a bug that's being worked on in SR1 :o).
