Option windows are blank!

Maya

Hey guys, i'm definitely a newbie here...
So my problem is as follows: almost all those option windows are blank!
(eg. Create -> NURBS -> Sphere -> []... and it's empty)
thanks

Delete your preferences file in your user/maya directory

How much ram do you have?

gmask, deleting the prefs didn't work.
I have maya 5 and 512mb ram on a win-xp machine.
It seems that the option windows are blank on the
create menu.

Is it like this after a fresh launch and no project loaded? You next step may be to reinstall.

No worries any more, i fixed it!
I had 120 DPI (at 1280*1024) and i changed it to
96 DPI.
Strange though...
Now i can go on learning maya
