max material ed not showing up....

keizza

hey guys...need some quick help here. i work on two monitors. my left one has conked out. so i switch over to my good one and need to do some work this weekend. but when i open max and try to work...my material editor will not show up after pressing "M" or clicking the material tab. i'm thinking it may "hidden" due to my other monitor conking out. any help with getting it back on screen? thanks!!!

***FIXED

....color me dumb!!!

even though you fixed it, for others:
Sometimes with a dual screen setup 3dsmax doesn't reset your panels if you revert back to just 1 screen (a bit dumb but they have a 1 screen tradition). There is a script that resets all panels including the material editor should you lose it like that.

The script can be found here:

Or... activate the offscreen window, then press Alt Space M (all at once), then press any arrow key, then move your mouse until the window appears again.
