Hi,
Probably better if posted in off topic but…I could not use Vray.
Got my Vistas 64 bits Open licences today..installed easily…photoshop etc.
But Max9 DOES NOT WORK in Vista :evil: :evil: :evil:
Browsing Autodesk foruns…
Any workarrounds?
I am hopping for a MaxSp1..
i thought there was an equation out there that summed it all up
MSV + Max9 = no work
note this equation is valid when MSV = microsoft vista and also when MSV = shit which more or less is all the time.
Yap. Won’t work. Bit confusin’. But I don’t like Vista at all. Using server 2k3 x64 - happy 
Vlado has sucessfully run max9 with Vista RC1, although he had to use OpenGL as Directx was acting odd.
Well, maybe it was a standalone version 
Thats… what can I say.
Even a Mac can run 3dMax these days.
Back to WinXP…
I’ve had Max running on Vista with DirectX without too many problems.
First I had to disable Aero - this caused directX viewport issues.
Second, I had to run Max as an administrator (if I remember correctly, you right click on the Max shortcut and select run as administrator)
The above worked for me although I had other issues with Vista so I’ve since returned to Win XP Pro.
?? you mean a mac with running xp?
You can buy a Mac that runs with Intel processors, make a dual boot and run 3dmax ( there is also a few benchs in the forum ).
And I can not (so far) run Max9 64bits on a new windows OS :shock:
