Hello,

Iv been using Maya 5.0 for about 6 months now, and i try and when i started it up yesterday it loaded half of the icons and then i get a "program not responding" error. All i can do is shut the program down.

Hmmm. Sounds like something may have gotten corrupted. Try reinstalling. Couldn't hurt. Make sure you back up any preferences first to save yourself the time of having to redo them all again.

Hi,

I had this problem once as well. Didn't have to do a drastic re-install, I simply deleted the user preference file, and Viola! Oh and don't worry, it will automatically make another upon launching maya again.

Goodluck
