Just curious to see if you have the same problem.
Put your windows task bar on the left of your screen ( I have it reduced to one thin column wide). Make sure it doesnt autohide, and that it stays on top of all windows. Open max, then click on the button on the bottom left that opens the built-in trackview. I'm getting a messed up layout. Do you?
