Understanding MC6 Issues

Issues Opening MC6 Files

Poser Not Present

When you double-click your MC6 file, you may see a dialog box from your operating system stating that it "Cannot Open This File Type". If so, it typically means that you don't have Poser installed for %%os%%. The typical path of opening your MC6 with a double-click won't work because %%os%% cannot make the program connection.

Tip: If you have another software that you know opens MC6 files, you can select it by hitting the "Show Apps" button.

Poser is Out-of-Date

Sometimes your installed version of Poser won't support your Poser 6 Material File file. If you've got the wrong version of Poser installed, you'll need to install the correct version. Most of the time your Poser 6 Material File file was created by a newer Poser than what you have installed.

Tip: If you right-click on your MC6 file, then select "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), you can obtain hints about what version you need.

Regardless, most of the MC6 file opening problems relate to not having the right version of Poser installed.
