Controllers won't work properly

Hi guys,

First of all...great rig...great forum!

Then, i work on a mac with maya 2012 and everything worked fine for weeks.

But,
Yesterday, suddently, most of the 'picker' controllers won't work anymore...
If i select a controller on the picker, he lights up in the scene, but if i use (rotate/move) the controller, nothing happens...(like the mesh is not attached to the controller).
However, if i change the values (of the same controller) in the numerics (channel box), the controller does work!

I already reinstalled Malcolm and the picker, but that didn't help.

Hope you guys can help me out on this one!!!

In Maya goto menu--->Window--->Settings/Preferences--->Performance Settings, are all the deformers turned on in there?

Hi. Did you try restarting Maya?

Maybe send a screenshot of exactly what you're seeing.

Hi admin,

Yes i tried restarting Maya several times, but nothing changed.
I can't take a screenshot anymore, because after i restored Maya to default settings, the controllers work again.

And so my problem is solved.

Thx again.
