Hey - last week I got myself a new ghraphics card (ATi Radeon X1600Pro), and now when i run Maya and i click drag to select some vertecis or faces, i dont get the dotted line box that shows you what you are selecting. Does anyone know how i can get it back?

There are also some wired black faces to my models, I've tried reversing the normals and softening them and everything, but nothing seems to work. Any ideas?

try updating your video drivers, i'm 99% sure that's your problem...
PS the catalyst 6.8 just launched and it seems it has a nice OpenGL boost ;)

I have an ATI card with dual monitors and I have a problem like that if I don't span monitors. i.e. if I "Maximize" an app and it only goes on one monitor then I get the selection box missing on one of the monitors. But if I span the two monitors, so that a maximized app takes up both monitors then I don't get the problem.

Not sure if you are using dual monitors or not though...

Hey - i changed the compatibility of Maya under it's properites to run under Windows 98/ME and everything works fine now.


The only problem i still get is the black faces on objects. I've attached an image for you guys to see. I've tried everyhting with normals, and it doesnt do anything. Any ideas what causes it?
