max8 material editor on vista 64 freeze max

[mroranger]

Hello,

I have got one new problem, and I really dont know how to solve it.
I have Vista 64 bussines system+3dsmax8 32bit+Vray RC2 32bit installed.
When I open material editor, sometimes material editor/3dsmax freeze and I have to end task and run max again with loose of not saved data.Its very painful because I have to save very often, and this freezings is absolutely random. Its happen with any scene,and mainly when material editor redrawing material slots.I hadnt any problems like this before on winXP 32.
If anyone have some solution please let me know.
Thanks a lot

I don't understand: does it do it even without a VRay material in the slots, or only with vray mats?

Im using just Vray materials, so in material editor is only Vray materials visible. When I swich refreshing material slots just to active only, freezing is happening less, but after few opens of material editor, finaly it freeze.

Are you on a new machine or this is the same machine that worked fine with xp 32-bits?

I bought new machine, so I completely switch to new machine with scenes which were going fine on old machine.
Now I was trying to artificially simulate freeze and I´m not able to freeze it with test scene, so now Im totally lost

Hello,

I have maybe found the problem, but dont know how to solve it.
Max freezes everytime whet scene is realy big and consumes huge amout of memory.Than max starting freeze. I realy dont know if its caused by Vray or max material editor, but whet editor run or try to render materials it freeze.
My scene took about 2gigs of ram when starting freeze.
If anyone have some solution please tell it.
Thanx R.B.
