i am using the new maya 2008 and it sucks

i like to model in the perspective veiw and now i cant do
that
its the only reason why i use maya

i want the veiw compass back

i cant use maya 8.5 because its stuffed

all my menus go while after clicking them and they cant be used


HOW CAN I GET THE VEIW COMPASS BACK !!!

maya 2008 sucks because of this ....
