I know there is a way to fix this, I just can't figure it out.

I was resetting the U/I to 1.15, but inadvertently typed 1015 instead and the general preferences tab is covering the whole screen and I can't move it to change it back. I also can't select OK on the bottom of it, so I can't reset to factory.

How do I fix this screwup? I know about going into AppData and making changes there for the library, but will deleting the U/I pref files didn't fix it because Poser put them back as soon as I closed the program...

What a day. First my Wonder Woman build scene corrupted and crashes Poser, now this...

I was able to drag the general preferences tab up and see that the scale is 4.00, and I can't change it back. When I let go of the tab, it drops back down. I can't tab through the boxes and get any of my changes to take effect. When I type in 1.15, nothing happens. It stays at 4.00.

I really need help.

I even tried to adjust my display settings to see if I can get to that tab, but that didn't work. It still fills the whole screen. So does the splash screen...

Dammit!

I reinstalled Poser, set up everything the way I wanted to, then I closed it and reopened it. It went back to the 4.00 scale!

This is pissing me off in ways I don't want to be pissed off. I hope someone can help me. I am losing my mind and about ready to dump the damn program all together.

Oh damn! I hope you don't have to re-install! I am dealing with my own corrupted prefs issue. Poser crashed-and now when I try to open it loads the default scene and crashes every time. I need to find the place in MacOS where the prefs and reg dta files are. Can't seem to find them. Are you on a Mac?

I did reinstall. It went right back to the same thing.

I am going to reinstall it one more time, and not mess with the U/I scale. Maybe that will fix it and I will just have to squint a bit to see what I am doing. Better than dealing with this crap.

I even went so far as to delete the previous preferences and it still did this. WTF is going on with Poser???

The value is in poser.ini. EXIT Poser. Edit the file UI_SCALE_FACTOR 1.000000

If you don't know where poser.ini is get a search tool that works. For Windows, the best is called "Everything" because it finds everything, unlike windows.

And a bit of advice. You should ALWAYS know you have an up to date backup of poser.ini before you change ANYTHING. If you don't, you're like riding a motorcycle without a helmet. Sure, you mostly don't need it but when you do the alternative is a head wound or death.

Thanks, BB. I do know where to find that file. And I have a pretty good text editor too. I will get right on that.

Regarding: "I reinstalled Poser, set up everything the way I wanted to, then I closed it and reopened it. It went back to the 4.00 scale!"

Never try to change the setting IN THE FILE while Poser is open. When you close it, the last thing it does is REPLACE them.

Even installing while it is running will fail.

Poser reads poser.ini on startup, and writes it on termination. Anything you do with the file while Poser is running is a waste of time.

Ok, thanks. I will see what I can do. I hope I can fix this.

I am back in business. Thanks, BB! You are a god send.

Geez, BB! Intense analogy much!? ?

Is there an entry that can reinstall my ability to use the Poser library as well? I've been using the browser but may need to switch back to run a tutorial.

Pinging for knowledge POSER.INI

Here are various library related entries in POSER.INI (Poser Prefs on macOS) from my system, setup for the internal library, rather than external browser.

NO_LIBRARY 0

HTML_WINDOW_LOC 240 121 1097 643

HTML_WINDOW_ON 0

LIBRARY_EXTERNAL_CLIENT 0

What settings do you have for these?
