which Renderer mode did you select?
-Software
-Direct3D
-OpenGL
?
You can change the display renderer in the Start/.. menu
Or try it with the "-H" parameters
such like this: C:\3dsmax\3dsmax.exe -H
Dont choose Dx9 if available, it doesnt seem to work (for me) |

Well, the message you've posted should have helped you.
If you would have read it, you would have solved the problem without me. lol
D2k wrote just some days ago a lot of stuff in a post. I'll search for it.

You'll see after you've done some models in 3ds max it'll become easier than RED. lol
Ok maybe not, but you'll work as fast as in RED. You just got to get into it and it works. Like riding.. the bike. 
If you haven't been watchin the VTMs of 3DBuzz.com you should do that before you start to work on anything besides a box or a ball 
Watch the videos which explain 3dsmax from start on, the interface, viewports etc.
And maybe try to model the alienhead along the alienhead video tutorial. Very useful.
Only problem, some or many of the tutorials where made with 3dsMax5.
Which is not such a big difference to 4, but the cut tool, soft selection or render to texture (to name a few of them) will be not available, and these are used in the tutorials.
Somehow Render to Texture (bakes textures) doesn't work for me anymore...problems with WinXP and the service pack2 which already came with the version. Its very, very helpful for textures on the models |
