Okay I'm working with Poser 3 on Windows 98 and it's all gone very strange. As long as I use a clean install with nothing added (boo) I can colour in the business womans jacket to my hearts content. If I try to do anything else (eg install the wonderful norn) it works the first time,until I leave the program.However, when I restart poser if I try to do anything except look at the default figure I get the following message... caught C.exception exception access_violation trapped at 167:1002ab8f What have I done wrong? Does anyone know how to fix this? Once I start getting this message, even if I remove anything I've added it still keeps coming up. I have to delete the whole program and start again. Am I doomed to pose only the stock Poser 3 figures forever? Hoping all you experienced posers can help...... (hanging head in shame, sure I've just done something dumb) yours desperately, Al
