Hello, I've been having some computer problems lately, and now it seems poser is a bit screwed up. I use Poser 4 Pro Pack and I used to be able to set my dials with decimals, such as 1.234 Now, it will only let me do whole numbers. Instead of 1.234, I can only type in 1. or 2. etc. Here is a screen shot of what I'm talking about. 1 - In this example, I clicked on the x-tran dial. You can see it is set to zero. (used to be 0.000). 2 - Number 2 shows that I have typed 1.025 into the box. When I hit "enter", I get the error (#3). I really need to fix this. I like being able to use decimals. lol. I suspect I will need to fiddle with the Poser.ini (thanks ynsaen) and I took a peek at it, but, I'm not sure what I need to change? I asked this question on another board, and was told that me PARM_DIALS_ON 0 is correct. Is there anything else in the ini that would cause my dials to no longer accept decimals? I'd really apprecieate any help with this. Thanks.

Are you using a "localised" version of Poser ? Have you tried to use a comma to mark decimals, just to see if it works ? Just an idea...

Not sure what you mean by localise? It's on my hard drive, not a network if that's what you mean. Yep, tried using commas, tried reinstalling poser... I'm having so many problems, i'm sure this has to be a registry issue. My motherboard fried last weekend and I've had nothing but problems since rebuilding my PC. I think it's time for a reformat :-( Thanks for the suggestions, compiler. Have a great weekend.

I think Compiler means are you using a country specific version of Poser, eg, French, German, etc. Check the Windows "Regonal Settings Properties" to make sure the dot "." is the decimal character (for English version). In Win 98 you will find it in Controle Pannel > Regional Settings.

Yep, it was set properly for dots, not commas. My registry was all messed up, I ran some recovery tools and it had to truncate a TON of files. So, reformatting was what I had to do, and now my problems with poser & my computer in general seem to be a lot better. Lots more work to do though, I'm afraid. So much to reinstall!
