I installed the latest drivers from the dell site 7.7.2 or something. In any case the problem is that when I shade my model I cannot add more polys to the mesh even though I delete the references to the shader via UV centric editor and re map the UV's. If I do add more polys a few point and clicks later fatal error.

However having said that the maya help docs do say that you should complete your modelling prior to applying any textures or creating any UV maps soooooo I will follow this protocol with my next model.

Thanks
