This long and annoyed thread in the Virtual Tavern is about a bad misfeature that turned up in some software including Avatar Lab. It is an anti-piracy feature that hides itself by hijacking the PC's internal link-with-hardware position called IRQ6 which the floppy drive uses. This means that if you load that software, your floppy drive goes dead. **There is no call for that sort of $%#@!!! People still use their floppy drives!!!**. Pariah found what was happening by a lot of expensive and time-consuming buying of stuff and reformatting his computer and reloading software. This is looking like getting like that silly idea of PPP needing to email its suppliers for a number before it would run, that was around a while ago and caused a firestorm on this forum. I am mentioning it here because I do **NOT** want it in the long-awaited Poser 5!!! It seems to be that I must choose between an application and being able to use my floppy drive!!!
