3DS Max Oddities

Quasar

Hey guys

Having an issue with 3dsmax and it's driving me insane. Here's a pic of max with the transform dialog and the ram player open:



Now the moment I start working, those windows get cut off where they're on top of the viewports and the part of the viewport they covered stays in the window, like so:



I have an 8800GTS with the latest drivers, also using MAX 8 with SP3.

Anyone else having this prob?

Does it do it in software or openGL mode?

Quasar

Nope, doesn't seem to do it with software or openGL, but I prefer using DirectX.

i had that problem for two months! it drove me insane. after tons of searching i eventually discovered it was a problem with my...wait for it...mouse driver!!! do you have a microsoft mouse? if you have intellipoint 6 installed, uninstall it and search online for intellipoint 5.5 (i think). it works fine for me and no more freaky viewport issues... hope that helps. if that ain't it--best of luck.

edit: if it doesn't happen to you in open gl mode, then this probably isn't the solution for you. oh well, maybe it will help someone eventually...

Wow that fixed it, thank you! Guess I won't updating my mouse drivers
