Changing Graphics Card Settings

Hi there

I have a 24 inch iMac and when I run Maya (the 3d software) the timeline does not show up at the bottom of the screen.
It works fine on my old G4 so what is the problem here?

I figure I need to change graphics card options somewhere but have no idea where to find them.

Please help!

THANKS

imac core 2, Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Hi there,

I do not know or have Maya, but since that happened to me with another app, could it be thst the timeline is hidden by the Dashboard ?

Just a guess, no offending.

I use maya alot, the timeline will be nothing to do with your graphics, if it was the nothing would show up, just hold space to bring up your hotbox go to display / UI elements and make sure time slider is ticked on, if all else fails just trash your prefences and relaunch maya, im going to presume your not a professional maya user? just assuming since your using a iMac for it which isn't the best chose, also what version of maya do you have? learning edition, 7, 8 or older?

Hi

The timeline does show up, it is not hidden.
The timeline is visible but just as a grey bar, there are no numbers on it or black dividing bars between the numbers.

The timeline looks fine on my windows version however (running in boot camp on this same computer).

So there must be some graphics driver setting thats upset on the osx side.
