Have you tried to recover the contents of the .max files from a fresh install of Windows+Max ? You should really try that if not already done.

I have clean image file of my OS. I always make OS image file when i install new OS for the 1st time and i reinstall max and nothing. Really don't know what is the problem. In one moment all work perfect. In another all go to hell. All other project work perfect.

Never mind. I will focus on my chamfering problems because i can't figure how to chamfer edges in specific situation ( how to solve bump problems) and.... of course i will watch this contest.

i wouldnt give up. ive lost projects and had to start from scratch they usually turn out way better than the original. you had a cool looking vehicle yea its a pain losing work. but its amazing how fast you recreate something once you have already built it, i lost a lavlll i spent 10 days on redid it better in 3 days. now i pretty much always restart and make the final version fresh cause i can get the mesh cleaner and fewer poly for ingame and still have lots of detail. but thats just my preference. 90 % of my models are for ingame so they have to be low poly. thats why im havin fun on this dozer , no poly limit lol, YEA i can go crazy. but dont let a small set back stop you . just my two cents

I definitely agree with what caribcanuk : redoing something takes way less time than doing it the first time.

And maybe you'll find yourself happy to do it better the second time.

Yes it's sad to lose a model, but it's sadder to quit the contest IMHO.
