hi i just got 3ds max6 yesterday and i installed it but it took like 5 minutes to start in comparation to max5 took like 10-20 seconds nodoy have the same problem or any suggestions?
yes, same here … it takes longer to load. 
it does take longer … but not much .. but it does have more in it
delete the MR folder and it will start a lot quicker!
(do this at your own risk - but it do work) 
Renaming the MR folder might also work, no need to delete it.

What will that do? Keep mr from loading and save some memory?
If so, great tip for us! I have no use for mr whatsoever.

Stefan is right .. you can just rename it .. that would also keep it from loading, and yes it will save you a lot of memmory!
Has anyone been having memory problems with max 6 and Vray? Files rendering very slow etc???
After deleting the mentalray.dlz and the mentalray2.dlz from the stdplugs, Vray renders sooooooooo much faster on my machines that only hav 2GB RAM 8)
Correction… this is only the case with very small renders i.e. 640x480
i renamed the files described above and now I have no images in material editor. Anyone else having this problem?
Tony
You probably have set the MatEdit Renderer to mental Ray and now it cant render the swatches. Switch the MatEdit Renderer to scanline or whatever you use.
