yushi Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Hi Everybody It may seem stupid. But I was using my laptop in office and attached another LCD monitor to it and used it as secondary monitor(God that was comfortable) and I moved Material editor in second display. Now i'm using just my laptop and the material editor is gone! perhaps my laptop yet doesn't realise I don't have the second display now! has anybody had this situation? thnx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sketchrender Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 This happens all the time to me . There is a setting that should keep everthing on the one monitor, but it never works for me. I have to hook up another monitir reset to one screen, and then your good to go back to your one screen setup. Studip I know but the only way I could get it to work. Sorry Hope this is of some help. write to your graphics card company, and ask them. phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SandmanNinja Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 I've heard that you can change your layout (from 4 windows to 2) and back again and it 'figures' it out. I've deleted the (I think - I'm at my day job and dont have access to max here) 3dsmax.ini and it will re-create it on the fly and will reset your user interface. I'll double check the filename when i get off work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hazdaz Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Yea, I am pretty sure you can just delete the MAX.INI file and you will have all your settings set to default... OR better yet, just rename your existing MAX.INI file to something else, so you don't lose all those settings. I also am pretty sure you can set more than one INI file, and have MAX load with those settings... kind of like in the old DOS days, you had different 'switches' to set different parameters. Not really sure if it would work, but you can give it a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yushi Posted May 22, 2007 Author Share Posted May 22, 2007 wow! thank's it worked. I just moved my 3dsmax.ini to somewhere else(just in case) and everything is back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
