OK. While arguing and moaning about my poser problems in another thread earlier I decided to try an experiment my self...and it worked!

I'm getting the problem in P8 where poser is unable to load textures. To be more precise, in my case, poser is unable to load textures located in an outside Runtime (spare drive) What I did was loaded some of the 3rd party cloathing items by hand into the POSER 8 Runtime on my main drive .....and they work just fine!

So, it appears that the problem causing many of the "unable to load texture" problems is a bad link to outside runtimes?

For the record; I have 3 times re installed poser, each time ticking the box for useing outside runtime folders, to no effect.

Question;
Can anyone please tell me if there's a workaround WITHOUT me having to install gigabytes of  3rd party produce to the main poser runtime.

Thanks all
