3ds max9 doesnt start

[blaz]

Hi,

I have max 9 installed in my system, and it was running perfectly. until yesterday i need to opened my old max 8 file with max 8. because i have to run Final Render with the file.

Andthen, today i am going to work back with my max. and suddently after it shows the welcome screen and loading. it suddently close by itself before it opens/running.

 

so, please if anybody experience this before and have solution for this problem for me. i tried uninstall and install max 9 but it didnt work. i know it will work if i reformat my computer. but if there is a way to avoid that. it will be better.or i will just forget about max 9 and use back my max 8

Thank you very much in advance.

I can't remember, perhaps someone else can - isn't there a way to edit the properties for the Max icon to launch Max in Safe Mode, or with default graphics display settings, etc.?

 

Perhaps this might help him.

Hi Eric,

Thank you for a quick respond.. i did the safe mode start by running the change graphic things. but it didnt work as well. loading and straight away it stop. nothing came out or running..

 

anyway, thanks for the idea

find the icon in your hard drive and launch that - worked for me once or twice when it wouldn't start from desktop.
