wow, im amazed at how many people you talk to on messenger at one time, must be a party??

You better reinstall, check yor virus program, do the normal things when something like this happens. one thing you might try is to rename your 'mrbozzo/documents/maya/preferences to 'old preferences' and then reboot and relaunch maya. try that first.

good luck, its in your hands after you return all settings to default

Nothing offensive.

Have you tried reinstalling your graphics card drivers?
