This problem drives me crazy.   I'll be trying to create a character from, say, Michael 4. When I click on head or body to make changes, I can rarely get to the bottom of the Parameters window.  The attached figure shows how far down I can go in the window. Minimizing some of the higher parameters in the window sometimes helps, but very rarely.

You should have a scroll bar down the side of a long palette. I'm not sure why you don't, but it may be that one of Poser's GUI definition files has become corrupted, which would probably mean re-installation; but wait a bit in case someone else has another idea. Your mouse wheel should also scroll the dials; does that work?

I have had this occasionally , but its hard to reproduce. Look at the bottom right corner of the bar in EnglishBobs picture, you see thats a resize button (for lack of a better word) . If you pull that sideways you widen the bar. That may get you the slider. The slider only appears when the content is longer than the bar.

I usually do have the slider bar on the right.   But when I try to drag it down, it only goes so far, then stops.  Thanks!

But you are right.  Sometimes I don't have the slide bar.

I can't get low enough to find the resize button.  And yes, I can move the dials that are visible.

I would find C:Documents and SettingsOwnerApplication DataPoser 7poser ui prefs_1024_768.xml and rename it. 

Poser should recreate it . 

Note : owner might be something else its what you sign on as.

1024 x 768 is your screen resolution, yours may be different.

documents and settingsOwnerPoser 7libraryprefs.xml is the closest I get to what you listed.   No screen resolution is indicated.

My UI prefs are in C:Documents and SettingsUserApplication DataPoser 7English on one machine, and C:Documents and SettingsUserApplication DataPoser 7 on another - I have no idea why...

Which folder it goes in depends on if you installed Poser for current user only or ALL users of the PC.  Dont delete libraryprefs.xml , it would be recreated but you would have to respecify all your external runtimes.

OK thanks!
