No scale manipulator in viewport

[ipatch]

The scale manipulator is not showing/displaying in the viewport. I trashed ~/My Documents/maya/2012-x64/*, and still do not get the scale manipulator in the maya file. I do however get the scale manipulator handles when launching Maya. Is there some way I can copy/paste the geometry I have in one scene along with an image plane I have setup, because I really need the scale manipulator.

I also managed to upgrade the driver to my video card to the latest version, but that did not help either.
Attached is a copy of the scene file I am working with.

eek, this is sounding like a problem with my hardware/software setup, I guess I will try and figure to copy all the geometry from one scene to another, and see if that fixes it.

press the + key a couple time to be sure you have not reduced its size. + and - keys increase and decrease the manipulators size.

Also, make sure you have not hidden the manipulator by accident. These icons/controls are at the top of the channel box.

Appreciate the help, FWIW the + and - keys on both the numpad, and above the qwerty keys both worked in scaling the manipulators, but the scale manipulator still refused to show up.

I performed a series of exports which seemed to do the trick until something happened, and the manipulator stopped showing up again. I really need to get a better computer to use Maya. *sigh*
