I'm having an odd problem with Maya 4.0.2 that I can't seem to fix. I'm running Windows XP and I'm using dual monitors on an ATI Radeon 9700 Pro. Using a newer version of Maya is not an option as I had to downgrade specifically for the contract job I'm doing this for.
Here's the situation: I have image planes set up on each camera (front\side\top), all scaled to precise specifications for modeling. The problem is that whenever I'm in one of the orthographic views and I perform any viewport action (pan\zoom or modifying the model in any way), the image plane that I've set to be partially transparent will become fully transparent and then horribly distort the image.
It's sort of like it runs some kind of bizarre Mosaic-type filter on the image, but whenever I pan\zoom even one pixel, the effect changes, but only when I move my mouse and perform a command. It does this in every orthographic view, even after rebooting.
Here's an image of what it's doing:

I have to use the image planes in exactly this way (set up in the cameras and not on an actual geometrical plane) and I can't use any other version of Maya.
Does anyone know what's happening and how I can fix it?
Thanks in advance.
Also, I installed the Maya Poly Tools plugin, and whenever I use Cut Polygon and do an Interactive Cut, it leaves enormous trails of the line representing the Cut... obviously this is also a problem. Is it related? I'm not sure what to do here...
