OK.... here's one for you... Poser 4 crashes...... then unless I reload the programme.... I cannot get it running again..... I've copied both the INI file and the pz3 file from the pref directory..... even with them replaced.... no run... as a referance.... I'm on a PC... AMD K6-500, 192M ram, reasonably fast hard drives... no probs with space... What's happening? It usually occurs when I attempt to load a figure that I haven't tried yet... the usual "C exception errors".... but if it goes down whilst attempting to load the texture files... it's gone.... any attempt at assistance would be appreciated.... an awful lot of time spent in reloading.... sigh
