DeskScapes wipes out my right-click menus.

Using 3D Studio MAX.

from Stardock Forums

I can't run 3DS MAX and DeskScapes simultaneously, because my right-click menus aren't accessible inside MAX's viewport panes.

 

Strictly speaking, I don't know that this is a problem with DeskScapes; 3DS MAX is infamously buggy, and typically does not play well with the Windows operating system.  (e.g. If I'm running in Aero mode then custom toolbar menus don't pop up.)

 

I realize that this is a long shot, but are there any MAX users out there (I'm usng MAX 2009) who are able to access their RC menus while running desktop dreams with DeskScape?

 

Or are there any non-MAX users who've experienced the same problem?

It sounds like the app (or more likely your opengl drivers) are clipping incorrectly based on other 3D content being on screen.  This is all too common with nvidia drivers in particular.

Unfortunately there is nothing we can do about it as the problem is outside of DeskScapes.  You may be able to pause DeskScapes before running 3DS MAX, but thats about it.  There is also an option to pause when a window is maximized, which might help out too if you run 3DS MAX maximized?

That works, thanks.
