Maya UV Widget problem... o.O

.Murder

Well, i dnt really know how to describe this, but the widgets are not working as they should in the UV editor, especially the scale tool its jsut grey'd out, and i cant scale uniformly, only in 1 direction at a time, and same for the Move tool, i can only move in 1 direction at a time, Normaly there is that little circle in the center of thw widget which you can use to move on both axis at the same time,

Anyone know how to restore them to their default settings? that might work?

But deleting the prefs the first time fixed it for a while?
Are you using the UV Editor in a panel or a flyout window?

it sort of reversed it the first time, it went from being ok on the uv panel, to being messed up i nthe 3d space, and i have in open in another window which i drag onto my 2nd monitor

Video drivers + screen res + UV Editor in a window have caused problems in the past. The problem could also be with the second monitor, something to google at least.
I'd try putting the UV Editor in a viewport panel and see how that works for a start.

Argh! why didnt i think of updating my video drivers when i reformatted and installed wins 7!! ahh i feel like such a fool! well, that fixed it anyway, thanks man. haha

I believe this happens when you change the color depth for your monitor to less than 32bit.

Updating drivers probably set it to 32 by default. Might be some game you´re playing that changes it and either crashes or just don´t revert it when you close it.
