CGarchitect.com - View Single Post - 3ds max 2008 error on start (solution found)

Rick Eloy · December 14th, 2007

Ok, let's see what I have here... they're all the same:

Pentium D 2.66GHz
1 GB RAM
Windows XP SP2
No antivirus
All PCs have 3ds max 8 installed and we are upgrading the licenses to 2008.

One thing we had to do is installing DirectX9 (some machines did not have it), but no biggie.
I googled the error code and the only thing I could find was the description of it (the software is missing a dynamic DLL) and a great advice (re-install the DLL). If only a knew which DLL is missing... I can only assume it has something to do with Windows Update, being this missing DLL a system file.
What do you think?
