Max 7 - No object column in Max Console

I am working with Max 7 64-bit on Windows 7. My Max Console window only has one column, which displays the error messages. The documentation states that there should be an "object" column as well, which displays the offending object. Also, selecting an error message and clicking the "show objects" icon at the bottom of the Max Window does not effect any change or show any object. What am I missing here? I cannot trace my error message to an object. Is this some simple preference setting? Or something else? Please forgive me if this question is too trivial for this august body. I have searched high and low for an answer. But obviously not high enough or low enough.

Thanks.
