Shading viewport label menu max 2012

[rogue3d]

So just installed max 2012 the other day and so far everything is working well except for a little annoying glitch. In the upper left of the viewport are three menus, general viewport, POV, and shading. The first two, general and POV work fine. the third, shading does not work at all. If I click on it (right or left mouse button) nothing happens. If I go into Views> viewport configuration > visual style & appearance I can see the settings and change them. but this is really annoying. not having the short cut to check xview for example as well as shading preferences is quite a pain.

 

Any ideas? I brought over my hotkeys from 2011 and wondering if that has anything to do with it or if there is some random check box somewhere that needs to be checked or unchecked.

 

thanks in advance.
