Good evening, this is my first post here.
I started maya 2010 64-bit Windows 7, because the console displays "error Sat 10 December 2011 22:41:00.557000 pid: 4172 tid: 6420 Save configuration file failed.
".
Then when I work in Maya, only the perspective view is valid, and when I change views with "Space Bar" software crashes and I can not do anything.
Here is my config:
Windows 7 64-bit
physx installed
Directx installed
6 GB RAM
1 GB Nvidia Graphic
I hope that you can find a solution user added image

"Save configuration file failed."

Your Maya configuration is corrupted. You need to delete it, so it can be created again.

Try deleting the following folder.
Windows: My Documents\maya\<version number>
Mac: <Home folder>\Documents\maya\<version number>

You have to give us time. Uninstall Maya, delete the preferences folder, delete the Autodesk folder in your program files, then reinstall. If it pops up asking if you'd like to copy preferences over from an older version of Maya, click no. This causes problems.

I installed the 2011 edition, but the problem is related to views, when i try to change from perspective to 4 views it shows some views and hides others.(no prblem with pref now)

Did it work before? What video card do you have?

The 2011 version is fairly stable but when i changed the perspective view to others, it become invisible (top, right ...).
I have a 1 go Nvidea 525M (Ge Force)

This is a graphics card problem, which is common for Geforce cards. Did you update your graphics drivers recently?

Go to this site, and follow the beginning instructions: https://www.toxik.sk/mayaenv-configuration-of-variables/

Set the following in the maya.env file.

MAYA_SLOW_DRAWPIXELS = 1
MAYA_GEFORCE_SKIP_OVERLAY=1

If this doesn't work, try using an older set of drivers.
