Press 5 to go into Shaded Mode. Maya aways starts a new project in Wireframe.

Seriously check out the free basic tutorials that come with maya, you press alt and move the mouse to rotate the camera

If you believe in telekinesis, raise my right hand.

thats quiet a leap, from remapping keys to asking how to rotate the viewer to no quicktime beginners movies?? that is a riddle??

take it easy , one thing at a time. best look at the help files if your quicktime doesn't work, it is very well laid out and easy to read.

help files.., under HELP!

take it easy and life will be easy
