I have been plying around with xsi for awile and it has been working well, until yesterday. I was opening a new scene and added a cube but when I changed the view to shaded or textured my image went crazy. I put on a very simple texture and put it ingame. It looks and works fine ingame. It is not a huge problem but as you can guess it will not make modeling any easier.

Here is a picture in xsi. Any help would be great. Thanks

It looks like a display issue. Have you updated or made any changes to your graphics card recently?

No, not that I know of. I have had this problem before(3 or 4 months ago) and it went away after I stoped useing xsi for awile. Should I reinstall xsi?

it doesnt seem likely that the cause is the xsi installation if the problem didnt start immediatelly after it.
does something (besides the perspective) change when you press "r", or does the problem still appear?

No just resets the camera.

EDIT:
I can't believe that I didn't think of this. I have a 64 bit computer and I have Xsi 32 bit. I ran it in compatibility mode for windows XP service pack 1 and it worked.

Thanks all!

would running xsi 7.5 32 bit on a 64 bit computer cause textures not to show up correctly in swbf viewer of ZE by any chance? kinda like the opposite of what happened here but could be for the same reason

Do they look black or gray?

in ZE they are grey and yes i did have the texture file along with the msh and the texture is mostly orange (it is orange rock) and in swbf viewer in some places of the model it is just plain orange

The problem might be that you are not useing a image with the power of 2, ex. 256 or 512.

oh well i never knew i had to do that thx a bunch!
