Hello!

I found this problem yesterday when i installed Windows 7x64 for the first time(Been using Vista x64 before)

I was about to check the statistics which i usually check in the viewport menu but now i cant use right/leftclick there for some reason i dont know?
This is the first time i see this and i suppose it has to do with WINDOWS 7!But what can it be?

Windows 7 x64 ultimate
Wacom Intous 4 medium
3DS Max 2011 x64
Gigabyte GTX580
12gb Corsair DDS3 1600mhz
Intel CoreI7 920
Intel X25MG2 160Gb
Corsair HX850W

Don’t imbed you image...attach it please.
Now on to your question with a question.
Do they turn yellow when you hover over them?
(Note: Only the ones in the active viewport will work.)

Yes your image did disapear, you can “attach” it using the browse button at the bottom. Just don’t preview your post after that.

I have this same problem and it’s extremely frustrating. I just got max design 32-bit 2012 yesterday and running Vista. Besides etiquette on how to attach images to the boards, does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

Did you read his post? He told you how to fix it. You may need to change a few numbers to make it fit your case but it should work.

This bizarre problem happened for me in Max ‘12. This fix worked. What’s the real cause of this? It’s happened before, SP1 was released since (I think), I forgot the fix, and needed to look this up again. Seems like a persistent bug that needs to be fixed.

It seemed to crop up from loading a saved layout UI and/or menu layout.

So when you buy a shiny new car do you pull out the dash board and install thefaded one with the crappy radio from your old car too? (Don’t answer that...)

If those saved layouts were saved in a previous release of Max then that’s the problem. You cannot use old layouts - they can, and will, break Max.
