Hi

I am almost afraid to post this, I was looking for some help and reading post that struck a chord with me, all very reasonable, a confused person asking for and getting help from someone who knew what they were talking about. Then this

 

your'e making a mountain out of a molehill, as do the majority of new Poser and DAZ Studio users, and also a lot of people who think they know what they're doing but actually don't have a clue

 

Gosh if anything is designed to destroy ones inclination to ask for help, that certainly is.

However I read on and while this persons subsequent posts got a little better, everyone else was prepared to not to be quite so judgemental. Hence this somewhat tentative post. Imo getting on a bit in years, past retirement age anyway, and I spend lots of time in my kitchen wondering why I am there, so my memory sometime lets me down which can be worrying in and of itself. I totally identify with the post starter who found himself bemoaning the fact that he was confused about not being able to find content in Daz. I had the same problem. And got so frustrated and fed up that I decided to give it up. I was checking out other things when I found the offer of Poser 7 at a knock down price and I thought go for it, if you spend money on it, you will feel more inclined to persevere. I found installation simple enough, and after I had read parts of the manual and found some pretty useful tutorials I was going quite well after only a few hours. But I do have some problems that I cant find a solution to.

In the library thingy on the right of the window, I cant get any reaction at all when I click on the folders. Double click, right click, click ever so hard, no joy, except the folder high lights itself. Now why is that, I am using Imac os 10.5 leopard, maybe its that. Oh and I thought I would buy something from the content store, and after I did I couldnt get the download link to work, so Imo not all that happy really. Particularly as the contact the company mail seems designed to thwart any attempt to do so.

I hope someone can give me a little advice about the clicking on folders. And hey, be gentle with me, no lectures please
