HELP! how to remove diagonal lines from 3d objects

My boss came to me with a max question and its been awhile since ive used max.  he has a single diagonal line on the face of every solid in his model.  I tried every fix i know and nothing worked.

 

then we found a site and the fix worked after reboot, for all of 5 minutes and the it went back. 

 

he is using XP based pc with MAX7 if this helps.

 

if you have a fix or would like to help let me know: aboyd@testanidesigntroupe.com

Customise > Preferences > Viewports (tab) > Configure Driver > Display All Tiriangle Edges. Best guess as I no longer have Max 7 available. Best be logged in as Administrator because the file that option changes is in the installation folder (normally under Program Files) and "normal" users may not have write permission, the result being that the setting doesn't "stick".

That explains everything, he was logged in as admin on the computer, but he didn't right click and run as admin. Thanks, it worked!
