Whole host of problems

Okay, let me first say I am a furry artist and I take different figures given to me or that i payed for parent them to each other to make my furry characters and I retexture everything. I thought that might have caused some of the problems I'm having but after a bit of messing around with daz that wasnt the case.
so the problems I'm having first off despite trying evey fix I have found I can not select differnt parts of a figure. I can use bone select tool/right click and drop down sure. but normally just clicking I can not select body parts. I tried loading an unmodified figure but no luck. uninstalling and reinstalling daz really isnt an option because some of the things I have recivied from friends/family were just files I could drag and dropand after a computer clean up most of the oringal files are gone, all thats left of the files I was given is what is in my daz folder( there are so many things backing up everything would take months)
second problem I use v4/m4 for most things but clothing is not conforming to the body( and with how much skin some of the clothing shows using hid body parts wont look right) I have boobs/hips all kind of things sticking out. I thought it was just because most of the clothing I have was files given to me so I just today purchased the "candie for V4" top and despite the few adjustments that came with it doesnt fit the shape of the boobs and they fully show through
I have tried everything and am at a loss

For the first problem - make sure you have the select tool selected (at the top of the window, there should be some tool options, one is a kind of 'universal' tool ,but selecting that seems to prevent me selecting individual bones often). The one you need just looks like an arrow.
Also - depending on your defaults, the first click selects the figure (no matter where you click) and you then need to click again to select a bone.
For the second problem - unlike Genesis figures, the V4/M4 era figures don't have auto-following for morphs. So if the clothing doesn't have morphs to match the ones in the figure, it won't fit. Is the problem happening with the base figure or a morphed figure?
the arrow tool was the first thing I checked XD
it happens to the base figure as well as the morphed.
(should have noted updating did not fix the issues)
I'm stumped then - you could reinstall DS (that won't uninstall your content, but it might mess up any custom categories (It shouldn't but I don't use those so I don't know).
Reboot the PC, load up DS, new scene, load V4, with V4 selected, load up the item you bought from Daz - make sure it's 'fit-to' V4, try posing.
BTW: What version of DS are you running? What install method for content? (DIM? connect? Manual? - sounds like manual from the 'drag and drop' comment). Did these files used to work or never worked?
About V4/M4: Try selecting the cloth (first fit to your figure), then right click in the viewport and select transfer active morphs. That should transfer the morphs used for your figure to the clothing.
The Tool Settings pane gives you the options for what clicking does - I suspect it's set to Root Node Only.
checked thats not the case
they used to work. I do have quite a handful of things I got from right here at daz and those were installed with the install manager, as well as daz it's self.
works for some clothing but not all, either way I have one fix so thank you lol
I know you need some luck as well:) After running out of that you can always use smoothing, deformers or borrow some morphs from some other clothing
