i have scoured the web read the documentation but still maps show up as grey or black and there are no scene maps.any help would be greatfully appreciated!

I'm assuming you mean the 3dsmax.ini file right? Then it can be found in following path:
C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Autodesk\3dsMax\2014 - 64bit\ENU
Replace %username% with the name of your Windows account and adjust accordingly for the version of Max you have installed (2013, 2014, etc). Also "AppData" is probably the hidden folder you are refering to.
If your installation is completely borked though I would first try renaming/deleting the ENU folder. Next time you restart Max it will create a new ENU folder will the default files and settings, that includes the 3dsmax.ini file.
