Maya image reference problem

[srb]

hey all, ive just got this problem that arised awhile back and its put me of modelling for a while, and i cant seem to fix it. Whenever i put a texture on a object it gets distorted. It gets stretched diagonally, and i cant fix it. Lambert 1 does display fine. But if i create new material say lambert 2 it stretches the image. Ive tried everything, even reinstall maya 7.

I found out how to fix the problem.

If you enter MAYA_NON_POWER_TWO_OFF = 1; into the maya.env file located in "My Documents\maya\<version_number>\" using notepad it seems to do the trick. Thanks to petmoi on CGtalk.

Let me know if it helped.
