Well, I bought XP awhile back when I thought a virus was about to clean out my puter completely and none of my ME's would accept their registrations-- I think I had them switched. I might should put it on the desktop. I was hoping that I'd be able to use PBoost there in it's entiretly but the render I lost yesterday in the frieze had potential and I lost all of it, forgot to save. I hadn't worried because I was using Poser on my laptop, but the laptop isnt that upgradable and sooner or later I have to move the main operation back. Sigh, I hate upgrading, it always takes soooooo long. And there are always subsidiary probs. Emily
