If you're new to Poser, here are some suggestions: 1) Which version of Poser are you having trouble with? The screen shot in d-larsen's post shows Poser 5. But, are you using Poser 4? Granted, the command is the same: Windows, then hide (or show) Paramter Dials. 2) If you want even better help from people, posting a message with a more descriptive subject line will get you much better replies. "OMG Help" will not get the same responses as "Help- the head controls don't appear". 3) Restarting the computer will not cause a program's settings to magically change. When you show (or hide) a palette, that information is saved when you close the program. Restarting the computer (then restarting the program) only reloads your previous setting... which was to hide the parameter dials. If the program is "dumb" and doesn't remember your preferences, then you only need to close and re-open the program to reset the settings. There's no need to completely reboot your computer.
