3DS MAX 5 - Newbie tech support question

[rap88_88]

here is the thing, i installed 3ds max5 and registered it correctly and when I run it, it will load for a while and when it has loaded all the necessary files, it stops and does not run 3ds max. What seems to be the problem here?? I AM A NEWBIE PLEASE HELP.

Have you tried to reinstall it?
And does it give some kind of error report when it has loaded everything and should start the program?

[rap88_88]

it does not show any error message or a warning. Ones 3ds has loaded, it will just exit before i can even see 3dsmax interface. Pls help I really enjoy modelling even if i suck. I use to model cars using Zmodeler but i found it very hard because i can not replicate a certain car even if i use blueprints.

Well if reinstallin it wont work maybe just format your pc? :?

anyway, try Redstar's suggestion.. formatting your computer. :wink:

I must disagree :lol:
ZMod is much harder! IMO user interface is better and many other things are in 3DS.
ZMod is good though for a free program. It's little unfair to compare these two programs.

And back to topic... Try also different graphic card drivers before formatting!! :wink:

Lol, 3DSM not better than Zmod? omg
3DSMax is one of the bst polymodeling and animation program there is, and Zmod is nothing compared to that...
