Material not appearing in viewport

[Ausmax]

Hi,

I have a material that won't appear in max viewport.

I am running 3dsmax 2010 and I am using a .jpg bitmap which

I have applied to a plane. I can see the material in the material editor

and also when I render, but not in the viewport.

The object just appears grey. I need to see this material in the viewport

because I am using it as a reference.

 

Just found this!

The material editor setting:

Show materials in viewport as: Standard display with maps displays this problem material

However, it also makes my other materials in the scene disappear because they seem to view on a standard display setting.

 

Any thoughts? Thankyou.
