Hi All,
I have installed the newest version of Windows 10. I did a fresh installation of 4.7, and all went very smoothly. DAZ 4.7 opens very nicely. The problem I am having is none of the xxx.DSF files will open. I can verify that the files are there via the thumbs on the left side. Both people and creatures are a bunch of blocks. Some of the Scene's loaded OK some didn't.

Has anyone else tried running Win 10 and if so are you seeing the same thing??

    The blocky appearance usually happens when the 'data' folder can't be found and it can't load the DSF files.

    Are you sure that your paths are still correct in Win 10 in Edit > Preferences > Content Library .> Content directory Manager?

    Thank you, thank you....That was the problem. I have never had to change that before so I did not even think about going there. I did the Dancer tutorial and everything ran just perfect.

    The one issue I have noticed with Win 10 Preview is that it is slow about anything, ie: opening files, rendering and anything else. But I do like all the options available in 10 to let you as an individual setup 10 to look like Win 7 or 8 or both.

    Not sure I like the sound of that slowness. Is it installed on an old machine, or a new one built to handle the updated system specs?

    I'm interested in the lookalike thing; how far back does this go? I'm not interested in the "pretty" stuff shovelled into the last few Windows versions, the first thing I did in Win7 was turn off every bit of Aero I could find so it looked pretty much like my old WinXP setup... which I had arranged to look like my ancient Win95 machine. :)

    I am not sure. At this time in Preview, my desktop looks like it is Win 7. Who knows for sure what the changes will be by the time the final release comes out in August/September. I like XP, but I like Win 7 better. Once I figured out Win 8.1, I liked it. I am not a fan of 8 or 8.1 Tiles so I always kept my screen in Desktop.
    I wonder, as many people do, what the final will look like.
    I actually have more issues with my 4K laptop display making things so tiny I need a magnifying glass to see them.
