I am using maya complete 4.5 on Windows XP, and after I used it normally for several months. Now it has problem when I start maya program. I reinstalled maya, but it still can't solve this problem.
When I start the program, it will come out a dialog saying "shelf "Curve" has items that can be read, the shelf will only display the items before the first unreadable item it finds. If you start Maya and save this shelf then you will lose the unreadable items, This will happen automatically if you have your preferences set to save the shelves on exit"; ask me to choose one from "continue" and "Quite maya". If I choose "continue", it will come another dialog, this time, it changed from "shelves" to "surfaces", then....to "polygons","subdivs","deformation","animation","dynamics" and "rendering". Then, maya interface come up.
there are no toolbar icons or "curves","surface" etc. it seems that other functions work fine.
When I quite maya, it will come up a dialog and it said "Fatal Error, attempting to save in C:/.../localsettings/temp/XXX.03123.1523.ma";
Every time I started maya, the same things as above happened...
It give me a lot of trouble.... if anyone know how to solve this problem, please let me know. Thank you very much in advance.
