Mr Max Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Hey guys, I'm having a seriuos problem with my 2009 3ds max design! Lately it started to shut down suddenly and during renders and especially every time I try to pan or zoom in & out with the mouse wheel. It is happening so much that max shuts down every 10 seconds and I can't finish none of my projects! some times when I go to "isolate selection", it displays an error message and part of max's script that I don't understand! it also displays a msg box"exception error found" or something similar! is it my max version or is it abug or a virus because it happens in small files also in new ones!! I also noticed that importing cad files messes it up quickly. I'd really appreciate some help though I know I haven't been around lately due to certain circumstances! but any help would be great!

jinsley Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Had the same problem on my first install, in the menus up top go to HELP -> 3ds Max on the web -> updates and download the latest service packs... then make sure your drivers on your video cards are updated as well. This fixed it for me, otherwise I would contact autodesk for help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpcaltdcah Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 get rid of the steering wheel, you can search the forums for how. It causes lots of problems. It helped when I got rid of the view cube too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Max Posted August 26, 2009 Author Share Posted August 26, 2009 Hey guys, thanks for all the suggestions that you gave me! I just formatted my pc and it seems it's a 64 bit compatibility issue! now I'm using my 32 bit Max on a 64 bit windows XP and I hope that works alright! Sorry for replying that late but I just got my connection back! cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandmanNinja Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 I think most people here running the 64-bit version of 3ds max is using it with a 64-bit operating system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right my friend, but my pc is not a benchmark pc! it's assembled and it seems there's a compatibility issue with it's parts That's why I switched to 32-bit max to save myself some headache though I know I lost many of the advantages of 64 bit system! I won't advice any one to purchase an assembled system even if it's way cheaper than benchmarks. cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
