Upgraded from win xp to win 7, also max 9 to 11.

I've just recently upgraded my 64x machine from Windows XP Pro SP2 to Windows 7 and upgraded 3D Studio Max from 2009 to 2011. I downloaded the appropriate upgrade for Vray from the Chaos Gruop website. After installing today I got a variety of error messages. Vray is loaded as plugin during Max startup, but I got a variety of error messages. The WIBU Key seemed to install for the 32x platform but I got an error message during the 64x installation of same. I snipped the error messages and attach screengrabs. I would be really grateful if anyone could help me out. I suspect it's because of the OS upgrade but I'm not sure. I'm working voluntarily on a project in Central Africa at the moment and the deadline is next week for the initial proposal. So I'm anxious to get my Vray up and running again.

Thanks in advance.

Thank you for your reply Dmitry. I'd really like to but I can't afford it at the moment and technically, VRay 1.5 SP6 should work with 3D Studio Max 2011. I downloaded from the Chaos Group Website the other day. I'm having to use Sketchup with Photoshop at the moment, for the proposal images but if the job goes ahead, I'd really like to do some nice VRay renderings for the project and maybe an animation too. I've never even used the scanline renderer that comes with max.

Any advice or help would be very much appreciated.

you may need to just update your dongle drivers to run on win7 x64 os. your best bet is to email support and ask them for help directly.

Thanks Dmitry. I'll do that. Thought I might get a slightly quicker response here, but I have to say support @ chaos group has always been top notch.
