For me it was a hit and miss thing until I found a setting that worked best for me then I saved it as a preset.  I am not really sure if there is somewhere that will tell you what each setting is for.. I will look in my Poser 7 manual when I get home and see if it discusses it there and let you know.
  Just glad that your able to use her now:)
