Well everyone I have tried various things and I can't figure it out. I really appreciate your replies and help. So thank you again.

I changed my material to white and that in fact made the wires white as well, but it's when I select the object the whole thing turns red again and does not stay white. So then I go to select a single wire and it's the same red color which makes it impossible to see what is selected and what isn't. If i can make my selection a different color then I will be golden, but I have no idea on where that option my be.

I'm just going to have to live with it until I get myself out of the noob state that I'm in and a bit more time under my belt.
I'm not sure why when I install a program such as this it would start out like this. I guess I can try to reinstall it.

Maybe I should try to find video tutorials on setting up max if there is such a thing.

Man this sucks. Time to refill my rum and coke.. lol
