Hi,
i have just encountered a problem in maya 2011 the texture mapping manipulator tool and the extrude face manipulator tool has suddenly disappeared and i could not texture noe extrude my work and i am in a very tight schedule. after some heavy digging i have found a solution that worked for me.

it happened suddenly so i have eliminated card issues and graphics software uppdates ,so this is what i did:
goto:
documents/maya/2011-x 64/prefs/

delete the follow:

windowPrefs.mel
userPrefs.mel

it happens that during a lot of clicking your setting has been changed and it sllipped from you attention. it worked for me

BE AWARE THAT YOUR PREFS WILL BE DELETED BUT YOUR CUSTOM SHELVES WILL STAY

hope it helped someone
Johnny

Yep, corrupted preferences can cause all sorts of quirks.
