Is that Maya 7? If so there is a small issue with tifs and jpg files and how they display in the viewport.

put this line in the maya.env file

MAYA_NON_POWER_TWO_OFF

sorry bud, I should have explained that better. The Maya.env file is located

C:\Documents and Settings\your_name\My Documents\maya\Maya.env

you can open up this file in notepad

all you do is add in the above line and save the file.

Normally this env file is empty unless you have added something in the past

good luck

let me know if it works

what exactly did not work.

The file does not open
or the script did not do anything

It maybe that you are using the PLE version.

environment settings may be disconnected int he Personal learning edition

well, I tried. I don't have my system with Maya on me but will give this a go in the evening and let you know.

It could also be graphics driver issue.

There is a known issue with images 2k in Maya 7 that is why the env script should have fixed it but you may be having another issue
