All right, part 2 of my computer saga... I'm going to be transferring my Poser 7 from my current computer to my new computer. Of course I'm going to back up my Runtime so I can transfer it once I've uninstalled Poser from my current computer and installed it on my new computer. However, I also have some Firefly render presets that I'd really like to save. Does anyone have any idea which files I'd need to copy to transfer those? I'll be moving from Windows XP to Windows 7, if that makes a difference.

I literally jut did this with poser pro 2010. I left the install intact on my old system. All I did was copy the entire poser install folder (including it's base install runtime) to my new system. I opened up the poser "about on my old pc, so I could see the serial nuber, and when I started poser up on the new pc, I got the rgistration popup. I entered that info, including the serial numbr, and it started up as usual. You still need to move over additional runtimes and add them, but other than that, it apears fine. Granted, windows did not see an installer, and did not add its own installer registry items for uninstallation, and it does not show up in control panel's remove applications, but I'm actually fine with that, and can remove it manually in the future should I choose to.

I did use window's "easy transfer" appplication first to move all my base into to the new PC before this test.

FWIW, Lightwave 3d also transferred fine the exact same way, and even retained all my preference settings. In 4 days, I'd pretty much duplicated and migrated all my important data to me new pc, and it almost looks like a newer faster clone of my old system.

On my XP, my render settings are in RuntimePrefsRenderPresets. I don't know if that's the same for everyone or not though.

Poser 7 is self-contained in its directory.  Just copy the Poser directory over to the new machine, and drag a shortut to Poser.exe to your desktop.  If you need the file associations, rerun SR3 and point it to the Poser 7 directory, making sure you tell it to back up your preferences (you'll still have to copy them back, as the SR returns them to the default. )

Thanks for the advice, everyone! I'll hopefully be getting the computer soon, but I might not end up transferring Poser 7 because I might end up upgrading to a new version of Poser. However that is not set in stone yet and I might very well end up transferring Poser 7 instead. We'll see how it goes...
