Cad64 Posted November 4, 2011 Posted November 4, 2011 What operating system are you running? Is it 32 bit or 64 bit? Have you tried re-installing? Quote
nas Posted November 4, 2011 Author Posted November 4, 2011 What operating system are you running? Is it 32 bit or 64 bit? Have you tried re-installing? it's 32 bit & Yes i have re- installed it for 2 times ! Quote
Cad64 Posted November 4, 2011 Posted November 4, 2011 I already asked, but I'll ask again. What operating system are you running? XP? 2000? Vista? Windows 7? What are your system specs, (processor, RAM, video card)? Desktop or Laptop? Does your computer meet the minimum system requirements for Max 9? Software: 32-bit operating system requirements: Microsoft Windows XP Professional (Service Pack 2 or higher recommended) or Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional (Service Pack 4) Hardware: 32-bit version minimum requirements: Intel Pentium IV or AMD Athlon XP or higher processor, 512 MB RAM (1 GB recommended), 500 MB swap space (2 GB recommended), hardware-accelerated OpenGL and Direct3D support, Microsoft Windows-compliant pointing device (optimized for Microsoft IntelliMouse), DVD-ROM drive This is a legal copy of Studio Max, correct?

nas Posted November 5, 2011 Author Posted November 5, 2011 thanx for your reply. Well , It's Windows XP Professional 2002 (Service Pack3), what i see in system properties ---->Intel® Celeron® CPU 2.8 GHz, RAM 1.2 GB .....since i'm not expert can you please let me know how to find info's about swap space, hardware-accelerated OpenGL and Direct3D support, Microsoft Windows-compliant pointing device etc ... in my computer ?!

Cad64 Posted November 5, 2011 Posted November 5, 2011 You didn't answer my last question. Anyway, looking at your computer specs I see you are in need of a computer upgrade. I don't think your system can handle Studio Max. 1. You have a Celeron processor but you need a Pentium IV processor. Take a look here to find out why: http://computer.howstuffworks.com/question268.htm 2. You have only 1.2GB RAM, which meets the bare minimum requirements, but you really need a minimum of 2GB to run Studio Max effectively. 3. You didn't list your video card, but judging by your other specs, I think it's probably safe to say that it's not equipped to handle a program like Studio Max. 4. Don't worry about swap space or OpenGL, etc. because, in my opinion, you need a better computer in order to run Studio Max. Quote
nas Posted November 6, 2011 Author Posted November 6, 2011 It's sad ... so you mean the only solution is i'v to change my computer? well in my last attempt, when I hopelessly ran directx diagnostic tool i found out there was a note "Direct3D functionality not available. You should verify that the driver is a final version from the hardware manufacturer" Can this potentially cause any problem or not? thnx PS: I"m not sure About the originality of the copy of MAX!but it had a crack and a serial number for activation.

Cad64 Posted November 6, 2011 Posted November 6, 2011 PS: I"m not sure About the originality of the copy of MAX!but it had a crack and a serial number for activation. If it had a crack then it is obviously not a legal copy of the program. If you choose to use cracked software then it's up to you to figure out how to get it to work. Quote
laputafish Posted December 13, 2011 Posted December 13, 2011 My friend met the problem that no grids appear in the viewports. He had checked DirectX had been correctly installed. Finally, he went to menu Customize > Preferences... > Viewports; click [Choose Driver...] and select "OpenGL". That worked for his pc. Maybe there is some conflict with his display board. Quote
