i rigged a model of mine using the DT facial rigging dvd, all went well, however i seem to have found a problem, whenever i go to a different blend shape and use the head control to move the head only the head and jaw joints seem to move, so what i did was right mouse click and go into inputs, which brings up the list of inputs menu, the dvd says that all i have to do is middle mouse click and drag blend shapes so that its below skin cluster and above tweak,
which i did however when i did it, my model fliped out,i tried blocking all the other stuff to see if it would help but the same thing still hapens, can anyone please help , i'm attaching a picture so guy can check it

Doesn't DT have their own support forum?

Looks to me like your blendshape has imploded on itself because the geometry is different to that of the target meaning you may have a different polycount between the two
