heyas; if you saved a ui dot, and can find/reach your ui dots, click on them. if not, you'll need to go to the prefs and tell it to start in the factory state, not your preferred state, and restart. if THAT doesn't work, you can edit the poser config file... but i don't recall exactly what to edit. there was a recent message about it, though :/

Gee, it's easy to set the view window. There are 2 ways to do it. If it's just the view window you want to change, do this: 1.) Click on Windows 2.) Click Document Window Size 3.) Set the size.

If things might be messed up or you just want to get Poser back to factory settings. 1.) Click Edit, General Preferences.

2.) Choose the Factory State Options on both sides. Note you can use this method to set your own desired way of running Poser. For instance, I choose not to have any figures loaded in Poser when I first run the program, or start a new document. In that case, you'd be using options that say Preferred State.

OH, sometimes we forget some details, grin. I'm glad we could help!!! Here are some tips in case you just can't seem to get a handle on things. 1.) Don't panic. 2.) When in doubt, save your work if you can, then exit the program. 3.) Rerun the program, and see if things work right. 4.) If that doesn't work, then close the program gracefully if possible. 5.) Restart the computer. 6.) Try again. From my experience sometimes our computers just get messed up. One of the first cures for any such problems is to restart. I always say "it cleans out the cobwebs." You'd be amazed just how well restarts work!
