Do you have a file called C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2010\stdplugs\AutoCamMax.gup

If not, that might be why your viewcube and steering wheels are missing. And you may need to reinstall.

alright. i got it. i changed the video mode back to dx9. i dont know if this is a bug or not, if i change to grapgic mode to dx10. the viewcube lost and the SHow the Viewcube option uncheck itself no matter how many time you check it. i am using Nvidia GTX 260. does anyone have this problem in DX10 mode or is it just me?

It's a well known issue - the System Requirements for Max clearly states that DX9.0c is required.
Had you mentioned DX10 early on we could have told you to revert to DX9 and saved you 4 days of frustration.
This is why we ask all members to to put their software version and (brief) system specs is their signatures so the details are immediately visible to anyone responding.
We see Vista or Win7 and immediately know that trying to use DX10 is a possibility.
