I have had this problem before !

My solution:

1.  open the uncompressed file ( CR2 not CRZ) in a text editor.  I use MetaPad - it allows larger file sizes to be read.
2.  check if a stupid idiot apostrophe mark or some other nonsensical punctuation mark has been inserted at the beginning of the file.  Delete that character mark !!
3.  re-save.
4.  check that it can now open in Poser.

Other symptom of silly characters being inserted:  when CR2s, PP2s and HR2s  are not even opened by Poser.
