I'm getting the attached error message when starting up Poser 6.  As soon as I click "OK," the program loads as normal, but my list of Python scripts on the interface window is now empty. I load my main buttons script, run it, then I get my list of scripts back, and then everything is fine. 

I started getting this message after I was looking at some of Python scripts by changing their extension to .txt and then back to .py, and I'm thinking I accidentally edited one or moved it or something.

Is Poser looking for some file somewhere during startup that I can replace or repair?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Check on these two files:-

Poser 6:Runtime:Python:poserScripts:mainButtons.py

Poser 6:Runtime:Python:poserScripts:poserStartup.py

Ensure that they are PY extensions not something like PY.TXT

Be sure that if you edit any scripts you do it in an editor that does not add any additional formatting such as MS Word. Notepad is usually safe.

Thanks! It was the poserstartup.py that was the problem.

I had accidentally changed it to an unrecognizable extension.

Thanks again for the quick response.
