This is a weird one. My system; 750MHz Athelon 90 Gig on 2 HD, Win98SE. I recently had a problem with some original pose files corrupted or missing. Contacted Curious Labs Tech Support to find if there was any way to extract the original files off the Poser distrib disk without a re-install. Swapped a few emails until it was clear I'd have to re-install. I backed up my preferred & preferances, copied off my customized folder structure from Runtime down, uninstalled Poser (chill down my back at the thought), defragged, rebooted, re-installed Poser. Downloaded & installed the latest update from CL. carefully restored my customized folder structure. Fired up Poser. Joy & Jubilation! all working (I thought). Poses now fine, slightly greater tendancy to crash, but that might be subjective. Now 6 weeks or so later, I happened to need a prop i had deleted. Not a problem, I had the original DXF. Tried to import. No go. Converted to OBJ. still no go. Tried 15-20 other 3D props. ditto. Tried adjusting import parameters, no change. tried importing at anywhere from 10% to 500% in case it was off screen. no change. Tried it with figures present, & without. no change. import seems to work correctly, (progress line cycles & disappears) but nothing appears in workspace. the pulldowns at the bottom of the screen shows nothing but the figure & hair & ground. one time when importing a disk, I saw the ghost of the edge as a pinkish arc from one angle, but not responsive to any menus or controls. Had to close & restart Poser to remove it. BTW I did exit, restart Poser, & even reboot the computer several times during this process, but no improvement. Has anyone else experienced this? Any Suggestions? Anything? HEEEEELP! Assistance appreciated. leather-guy
