Get textures back after new OS install

Does anyone have information on how to retrieve character textures after installing Win 8.1? None of the folders worked on were deleted but may have been relocated, Ctrl 9, F9 failed to work this time. Didn't know upgrade:-) would effect self created characters. Is there any assistance? One character's eyelashes look like potato sticks!

    Where is your content installed? Are these textures inside a designated content folder or outside? Make sure the content folder is still listed as both "DAZ Studio Format" and "Poser Format" in Content Directory Manager.

    Well, if they are there you have two choices...move them or point your programs to those locations.

    Correction: Files are not in old. They are in the current OS Doc folder. An attempt was made to reset textures on characters and nothing worked. Used new Genesis textures and character's lips went to her chin! Daz what is going on?

    That sounds like a UVset mismatch -- make sure the UVset Genesis is using matches the textures you're applying.

    What exactly do you mean by "reset textures" -- what are you doing and what errors do you get?

    An OS was updated on our PC. The characters were saved but some of there clothing and textures were messed up like grey skin, transparent eyes, huge glued together eyelashes. If some of our future images look super different to unrecognizable it's all documented on this board.

    If the textures are in the same location and the content folders are mapped the same way, I'd suspect video card drivers. Are you seeing these problems in 3delight renders or only in the viewport?

    Some render dots pop up that were not there in previous Daz programs.
