Many thanks to Little Dragon,Thgeisel and Nance for your promp reply to New User Same old problem.I have tried all of your suggestions but I don't seem to be getting any further. I downloaded edipadlite and tried that,all it does is tells what I already know.I will put this scenario to whoever would like to assist. We have a file we will say for example a girls name (Marianne). She is downloaded as a zip.I unzip the file into Poser,in order to do that I have to create a new folder called Marianne.I open windows explorer, I go to my path ,say C:/Program Files/Metacreations/Poser/ Marianne.I double click on this file and I get a runtime folder and I open. I click on this and I get a choice of Libraries and Textures.I click Libraries I get say George (where the file came from)and I get Marianne cr2 and rsr files.I highlite these and cut and paste them into Characters female.In order to return to textures I delete George and Libraries to get textures.I then click on textures and I get runtime , George, Textures. I then Go into the far column ,from top to bottom I get, minibump jpg,minitex jpg,ponytrans tiff ,Tshirt1 jpeg and Tshirt trans jpeg.I then create a folder in Textures called Marianne and cut and paste them to this file.If there is an obj I then open it up geometries and it will have a folder called Runtime/George/Marianne/obj.I then have to delete runtime and George to get a Marianne file to put the OBJ in.This is what I am doing and it is obviously wrong.Can anyone correct me. Cheers Arrow1.

Arrow1 Your description is pretty detailed - thanks for that as it really helps to visualize the problem as a whole. You're working too hard, actually. I always unzip into a D:Temp folder with stuffit expander, which also maintains the directory structure. The unzipped folder will normally have a Runtime folder. Sometimes it's nested a few layers deep, sometimes right on top. In Windows Explorer, I RIGHT-CLICK on this Runtime folder, and drag it into my Poser4 folder, where my "real" runtime folder is and click "Move to" in the pop-up menu that appears when I release the button there. This usually gives me an error message that there's already a runtime folder there. I click okay, that it's not a mistake, ("yes to all" button) and all the files and folders are transferred properly into poser's folder structure. Start poser, find the figure, & make sure it loads all right. This works for me 99.2% of the time. That's the basic method. Before transferring, I usually read the ReadMe in case of some wierd peculiarities, like needing another product installed first before the new one will load properly into poser (if it's a Victoria character, it won't load unless I already have Victoria installed, Some superheroes from 3D-CC won't load unless certain boots or capes from another artist are already installed, some characters are distrib with a pcb that needs to be decoded/installed instead of a real OBJ in the geometries folder, etc. etc. etc. ...), and I also look over the contents of any texture folders, looking for anything like BlablablaBUM.jpg, convert it into a bmp file, and rename the bmp to bum so poser won't choke on it, but that's just my preference. Later, when I'm sure the character loads okay, I may re-arrange the cr2's, hr2's, pz2's, etc into my existing folder structure, but then I always COPY it first, & make sure it loads okay from there before deleting the original folder. I have downloaded characters that were actually hard-coded to only open if the CR2 was in a specific folder, but those were older P3-based files, & I've never seen it in anything new. Hope I understood you trouble correctly, And that my comments help you. . . Good Luck!
