searching in the 8.5 directory there are 4 userSetup.mel files in: C:\Documents and Settings\Me\My Documents\maya\8.5\scripts C:\Documents and Settings\Me\My Documents\maya\8.5\prefs\preMade C:\Documents and Settings\Me\My Documents\maya\8.5\prefs\startup C:\Documents and Settings\Me\My Documents\ma...

ahhhh, it's working now (5000 usb btw)

the speed settings were set at the lowest possible setting and in the App configuration tab the Tilt/Spin/Roll check box was unticked, I have no idea how or why that was the case

Thanks for all the help guys, I appreciate it

ok with autoload disabled and the startup dir emptied I needed to place userSetup.mel with MagellanStartup; in C:\Documents and Settings\Me\My Documents\maya\8.5\scripts in order to get the 3dx buttons to display now the buttons on the spaceball work, I can zoom in and out very slowly, but I still c...

I just restarted windows and Maya I noticed in Maya's plugin manager it listed 3DxMaya.mll, but it was not loaded or auto loaded, so I set it to autoload, when I restarted Maya I got this (note the last line is different): oh and the buttons didn't show up // Warning: New procedure definition for &q...

when maya recreates the 8.5 directory it has the following directories within it: prefs presets scripts and Maya.env the scripts directory is empty as is the presets directory however, within C:\Documents and Settings\Me\My Documents\maya\8.5\prefs\startup is the entire contents of the 3dxMaya8.5 di...

Hi pengwinzz3, For a test, try renaming the folder C:\Documents and Settings\<your>\My Documents\Maya\8.5 to something else as there seems to be a lot in there which shouldn't be, and then restart maya. If it askes about copying preferences from other versions, don't. If it doesn't work now, save a...

just to add to the weirdness, today the spaceball will zoom in and out (all be it quite slowly (even with the translation setting ramped up)) but I can't get it to rotate

fyi I just noticed that when i open the 3dx panel in Maya it says "Version 3.4.1" I presume it should be 3.4.2 instead?

still not working I'm afraid, all i get is this in the script editor _3DxOnMotionEvent 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000; _3DxOnMotionEvent 0.000000 0.000000 -0.001302 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000; _3DxOnMotionEvent 0.000000 0.000000 -0.001302 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000; _3DxOnMoti...

the other machine is very similiar but not identical, the cpu on the other machine is slower as is the ram and it has a different motherboard

I'll try it with the wacom driver removed

no it's not a branded machine, it's custom built

yep its:

It's an Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 3.00GHz
4.00 GB ram
ATI Radeon x1950 pro 512mb
x2 300GB hard drives running in raid

I use a Wacom Intuos 3 graphics tablet with the pc as well

I tested it on another pc, same problem it didn't work unfortunatley the installer and the update wizzard did not place all the files in the specific directories, so I had to do a manual installation, the 3dx logos/buttons appear in Maya but the spaceball dose not respond, the only difference on the...

Sure, thanks for the help

it's windows XP 64bit with Maya 8.5 SP1 32bit I tried what you suggested when I load maya the script editor now contains: // Warning: Move Camera // // Warning: Rotate around focal point! // // Warning: Fly mode off! // // Warning: Rotation Scale 1 // // Warning: Translation Scale 1 // file -f -new;...
