viewport problem

Hello, I have encountered a problem I hope some one can help me with,

I am working on my current project in Max9, I right clicked the viewport title and selected viewport configuration. I was changing the set up to display 1 panel in the camera view;

I selected the one panel layout & clicked okay, as I did this I realized I had not changed to camera view and the viewport was still on trackview. I now have one screen filled with my trackview, there is no viewport title/handle to bring the option menu back to change it to how I would like it, I have gone through the menu, tried reseting the UI, loaded default etc... I have tried keyboard shortcuts(c,t,f,p,l, etc) I have tried using the v button menu but they all do nothing and the viewport is still displaying trackview. MaxHelp suggest reseting UI but I have tried that to no avial.

How do I get a camera or any other viewport back?
Is there something I am completely overlooking?
any suggestions I have not tried welcome

Thanks

thanks Dyablo213619 that is what I was trying to do but could not locate the menu to do it.

I usually right click the viewport title(top left) and select viewport configuration from the dropdown menu, however the trackview does not have a viewport title so I could not right click it!

I finally solved it though late last night, as I learnt that you can also access the viewport configuration via the customize menu, I had looked completly passed it earlier as I have never accessed it via that menu before. 6 years and habits got the better of me.
