hi. im using solidworks 2008 in windows vista.


on the normal solid works, we have some controls at the right side.


wepress theMaterials icon and a bar at right opens.


when i first installed the solidworks on my computer, the materials icon has the name "Appearance" and no controls at the right were activated. and when i press Appearance icon the bar at the right didnt open, so i couldnt see the materials preview.


I installed again and it was ok.. but today when i tried to edit a material my solid works is again with "appearance"icon and not "materials" and there are no controls on the right.


why this happen? its really annoying!!do you know how i can activate the right side controls?


sorry for bad english.. hope you understood.
