max7 Bug Alert: Bgnd Image will crash max

[Tim Fairbanks]

Here are the steps that will cause max7 to crash:

 

1- Display a background image in a viewport.

 

2- Start Rendering

 

3- Lock your Windows XP workstation (Ctrl+Alt+Del, Lock Workstation)

 

4- max7 immediately crashes.

 

We have informed our Autodesk reseller/support of this problem, and they are working with discreet on the problem. We haven't heard from either of them whether or not a solution is in the works.

 

For now, we have stopped displaying background images while locking our workstations. hopefully it will be patched in the future.
