New Modder in need of help
Want to say something off topic? Something that has nothing to do with Trek? Post it here.

Hey all,
Not sure if this was the right place to pose this question, but I figured since it's not directly Trek/FleetOps-related, I'd start here.
I'm a new modder-in-training, using (or rather, TRYING to use) 3DS Max 8 for my models. My problem is this: every few minutes into the project (currently stuck on the tutorial due to my issue here), a small chunk of the screen will... I don't really know how to describe it. It's like the program makes a "screenshot-jigsaw-puzzle-piece" out of a small chunk of the screen, usually on the right side of the desktop. Part of whatever's on my screen at the time is just... frozen there. It blocks my view of whatever it's covering, and even my mouse cursor, when moved behind it, disappears until I move it out from behind the "puzzle piece" (please forgive me for not knowing the technical terminology relevant here). I KNOW it's an issue with Max 8, because when I close the program, the "puzzle piece" disappears with it.
Sorry if this isn't an appropriate question for this message board, but I'm a fan of FleetOps and am planning on making mods for it someday (assuming this issue ever gets resolved). At the very least, if someone knows a better place to find my answers, I'd appreciate being pointed in that direction, too.
Thanks for your time.
