maxstart.max not loading on reset

[philvanderloo]

Haven't run Max/Vray on my laptop for awhile and trying to figure out why I can open up maxstart.max from C:\Users\Phil\Documents\3dsMax\scenes and everything is as it should be. Material editor defaults to all vray materials.

But when I hit reset, the scene opens with all arch and design material in compact material editor.

I checked configure user settings and my maxstart defaults to that location. What am I missing?

Thanks

Max behaves the same way on my machine. If you make a new scene instead of resetting it should load the maxstart file for you.
