thats odd. ive been having the same problem with my maya at home.
it only happens in the persp view for me.

not sure why. i think maybe some of my user set up is messing with things.
im not so sure about yor problem,
does it not show up in all 4 view ports? or just the pers?

go to show and click grid, it may have been deselected. Failing that, got to my documents, maya folder, and go into the maya file, and then delete the prefs folder, and then when you reload maya it will be restored to default settings.

this has happened to me aswell, when is says the grid is on, but it is not... so try this:

display>Grid

check that, and see if it works
