newbie question

I know I am supposed to ask this in the simple question section, however that does not work to even let me in.
I just d/ld the program and even tho I have read several tuts I cannot find a way to configure mine like the progam shows the default screen. Mine has no buttons on either side of the screen= Has top and bottom buttons but no side buttons and no instruction as to how to get them.
I am using windows 7 hp quad processor 4mb memory
If you need more info please let me know
Thanks Don

two possible solutions

When your mouse is hovering over the 3d window:

  1. press the ‘n’ and ‘t’ keys to toggle the side windows
  2. press shift+space to toggle zooming in/out on the active window

it would be very helpful if you could post a screen shot of the problem.

@simman there are currently 2 main releases being used, with quite different look / feels. 2.49 and 2.5x

I have attached screenshots of each, in my mind it is reasonably likely that your tutorial is showing one version and you may be using another?

The bottom example is the one I have 2.49 ’
This is what happened when I tried to follow a tut. (see attachment)

hopefully the attachment will go this time

Unless you have a compelling reason to use 2.49 instead of 2.55, I suggest you download and run the latest version, and see if that one runs better.

What a weird screenshot!
Sorry, I guess that your computer is broken!
No, I’m joking!
But you seems to have a graphics card problem?!
Have you an ATI ( or Intel) one? If yes, do a search in the forum on how to solve ATI problems.
By the way, is your thread Game Engine related?
Bye

Just a quick note I downloaded 2.5 and it works good. Thanks for the help. I appologize for being on the wrong forum and try not to do it again
