Got this error when starting Poser 9. Do you know what this is and why it pops up? Not sure what it means or what to do about it.

its an error I think in Python. Why you would get it I have no clue. wx is a display library for interfaces.

Have you by any chance recently installed something like DSON that calls a python script at initialization time?

Close Poser.

Locate the Poser app data folder.

Delete the Poser.ini file.

Launch Poser.  The ini file will rebuild so you may have a slight lag at loading.

If you still get the error message, you might want to backup your runtime, uninstall P9 and reinstall.  Make sure you install SR3.1 after you reinstall.

Don't delete the Poser.ini file! Rename it; that way you don't lose your settings if it isn't the problem.  If it is the problem, you can edit the new one and paste the important settings back in...

Not sure I want to fool around with the Poser.ini file. What is it anyway?

So I downloaded and installed the SR3 update, restarted Poser 9 and I got even more errors:

Poser.ini is a file  where Poser stores most of its configuration settings.  If you are using Windows, it's in your folder under c:Users in AppDataRoamingPoser9 (I think that's right).  To see the extension you will need to uncheck Hide Extensions for Known File Types in the folder's View Properties.  Rename it to something like Poser.old.ini after closing Poser and it will generate a new one when it restarts.

 

If it doesn't work, try reinstalling Poser (you shouldn't need to reinstall the content; just point it installation to where you have the content installed)  and the SR-3.  If it works you can rename the new Poser.ini and rename the old one back to Poser.ini

renaming the .ini file and restarting Poser didn't work, so I'm going to try reinstalling.

Did you install or uninstall any Python apps or plugins just before you started getting the error message?

I've seen your second trace back python error message when installing python plugins and forgot to install the P9 update after installing the original P8 base app.
