I cannot open the Gmax material navigator, either from the top menu, using the M key, or from the materials editor. I have seen some discussion of this on other sites, but without a clear or satisfactory solution. Has anyone here experienced this problem? I am using Windows 10, but I have had that operating system for a while, and I've certainly used the material navigator since then, if infrequently.

I'm on Windows 10 1909 Jon and my Materials Editor is working fine. In fact I can't remember ever having lost its function, even through a long history of Windows 7. Because of that I can't immediately come up with a solution. However, it might be worth backing up your Gmax.ini file and deleting the original. Gmax will then build a new one. You can find it in your Gmax root folder. I'm doubtful though because the .ini file makes no mention of the Materials editor.

It seems it was the ini file, but which? Turns out I had two, one in the Gmax root folder, which included editor parameters, and one the gamepacks/FS2004 folder. I backed up both, and now the Navigator is working.

Glad that worked Jon and you are back in business.
