This problem occurred using WinXP after moving Poser files over from Win98SE. I am reposting this here so that anyone else who has this problem can find the answer without "digging" through the other thread. cheers, dr geep ;=] ***************************************************************** Here is what I had to do .... When the .pz3 file is "opened ... and the "No Disk" window (shown above) pops up ... I started clicking on "Continue" many, many times. It "appears" that Poser is "stuck." BUT, it is not because if you CONTINUE to click on "Continue," the file will eventually load. With some .pz3 filles, I only had to click "Contine" 2 or 3 times before the file would load. Some of the files required clicking on "Continue" 50-60 times! ... and then the .pz3 file would load. I am guessing, but I believe that Poser has all the "links" to figures, lights, cameras, etc. embedded in the .pz3 file and when these "links" do not work, the "No Disk" window pops up. Clicking on "Continue" somehow forces Poser to "search again" for the missing "link." There seems to be a correlation to the number of times that "Continue" must be clicked and the complexity of the .pz3 file. I had to go through each file a click on "Continue" and keep on clicking until the file loaded. Then I saved the file back using the same name. (but in a different folder) I have verified that the newly saved .pz3 files load without any problems. BTW(#2) - I am now using WinXP (from Win98SE) and had never seen this "No Disk" window pop up before in Win98SE. cheers, (finally) dr geep <-------------------------------------------------------(happy again!) ;=]
