Problem with unwrapping

When I go to Unwrap > Edit, my map doesn't show, it's just all black.
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Up there, where it says Map #2, try selecting something else.

Tried that, it does that with all textures, even the built-in Max textures. (Such as Checker)

what am i missing? looks fine to me. you mean the checkers back round?

thats a bug in 3dsmax 5, you need to go to options, advanced options, click defaults and OK. At least that works for me.
