Hi folks!
Last night my Poser9 started running strangely. When I open the libraries folder (the standard internal runtime libraries, nothing is installed externally) it doesn't seem to load anything. It won't change between the Figures/Poses/Hair/Hands etc. However, if I select one of the headers and then change tabs, for example to the Materials tab and back again, Poser has now selected the folder I want.
Then to select a sub-folder I have to do exactly the same thing - scroll to the sub-folder I want, click on it (no apparent change, visually) change between Materials tab and main tab, and it will have selected that sub-folder. And then to actually load a prop or figure, I have to go through the entire sequence again. Select a figure, change tabs, then double-click to load the figure/prop.
This only started happening last night and I'm almost 100% sure I didn't change any of my settings.
Two things which have happened since yesterday are the installation of MayaX's Ball-Joint Doll and the automatic installation of Windows updates.
Does anyone have any ideas, please? This is driving me nuts!! :D
Thanks!

Update Adobe Flash on your system and in IE (even if you don't use IE for your browser). That's about the only reason I can think of...Flash issues.

Hi Laurie!
Thanks for getting back to me! :)
Unfortunately this did not help. I have jsut updated and rebooted, I have updated Adobe Air and rebooted. I have also just completely uninstalled Poser9 and re-installed the basics of it. Same problem is occurring.
Are there perhaps temp folders somewhere which I should manually remove as well...?
Thanks!

Where do you install your content? If you're on a Windows maching that runs anything greater than XP your content folders cannot be inside the program folder because Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8 write protect those program folders. They should be installed to your Documents folder (there are options when installing Poser). You also need to give Poser local network access. If you're running a software firewall, you'll need to let Poser thru it.

Ah! Thank you, Laurie. :)
Well, I've just done a completely fresh uninstall, reboot, deleted the Poser folders in AppData, updated Flash and Adobe Air, installed Poser9 using ALL the default folders, installed service pack 3 and gave Poser internet access.
Then went and banged my head off the wall a few times... Still doing the same thing. I'm stumped! :D
