[max5] can't access render menu

[Acumen]

so yesterday another genius thing happened to me. I was just about to render this character model but I couldn't "find" the render menu. It's sooo weird. I can access all the other menus like "Materials" and stuff. So no matter whether I click the F10 key or just click on "Render" in the menu I cannot see the render dialog. I resetted the UI and it's still not there. So right now I think I either clicked a key that somehow "locked" this render dialog or made it somewhat "invisible"

Or another thing that I could imagine, that I somehow managed to simply move this menu out of the screen.

So I really hope that someone can help me out there, it's really weird to not being able to render anymore, except from the F9 Quick Render function.

Really weird to not have this menu on the screen. Maybe there really is some weird shortcut that can reset the menu position or anything. I don't know

Wow! I have never heard that before! You reset the gui, did you delete that .ini file manually, which will reset ALL your settings?

I don't know why I'm always messing things up like that in Max.

Some weird talent or something.

But thank god, your tip with deleting the ini-file worked. \o/

Thank you sooo much. On the next start the render dialog was totally on the right side but I could grab it and re-center it to the screen. Now I can continue working. *wuhu*

thanks again ^^

Yeah that delete .ini file thing resets EVERYTHING completely, and max will then generate a new standard .ini file. Also a good way to transport your settings around with you...

hehe, alright. Though I didn't really customize Max that much.

If I should ever be bored again, I'll try to copy&paste my old settings back and forth to see, what was wrong but I don't think that'll happen in this decade
