Thanks mmoore5553 I have fixed the problem :attn: I was looking for in the Web and the problem was very subtle: This is a common hardware issue. This can be solved very easily by doing the following: 1) Find the Maya.env file (...\Documents and Settings\User\My Documents\maya\7.0) 2) Open it with any text editor such as notepad 3) Add the following line to the end of the file: MAYA_NON_POWER_TWO_OFF = 1 This will tell your graphics card to display the images differently. 4) Save and reset Maya. Thank you everybody
