Okay, here's the deal. Over a year ago, I created and modeled a character/mascot for my little graphics company. I used the same method I use today which is arranging and connecting Verts to form Faces, and edges. All has been good since because I never knew how to texture it. Now I do So I opened the Original file and got to Edit Mode (2.46) to select the edges for un-wrapping. But now the model looks different in Edit mode and I can not select the edges and such for unwrapping. So I close the program and try it in 2.45 but got the same problem. Trying to stay calm, I go back to the 2.44 version in which I made the model. Same Problem!!

 And now I'm here asking for help. Does anyone know how to fix this? You can see the problem in the image below. I NEED this fixed. I have to make a Video intro for my company and using the core materials, it'll take at least a month to render!!

HELP! PLEASE!?

As you can see, the mesh is hovering over the model. What you don't see is that it does not allow me to add Seams. I can still unwrap it, but it's a un-usable mess when I do. :(

Thanks in advance,
