When I click the cogwheel or the mic is sensed, then the avatar shows back up. 

Do I need to completely start over? I have everything working great and I thought I was ready to stream with it. The  background is transparent in obs and everything has started to behave correctly. All ajustments have been made. I will report back if making a new avatar with the same sprite parts fixes it.

I did re-load the avatar from a saved file, and reloaded the software and ran as administrator. 

I found the problem: There was a linked action for the body that needed to be changed back to 'null' at the bottom of the screen. No idea how something got set as a problem, but the Avatar now seems to be working well 100%
