Max 2008 F3, then crash

Timothy Saunders · January 11th, 2008

We just installed Max 2008 last week. We're liking it. There are a couple files we have had problems workign with. The models were opened in wireframe, we manipulated and orbited around the scene fine, but as soon as we switch to shaded, it gives the "an error occured....." warning and shuts down.

Has anyone experienced that and have you got a fix?

I've had that a couple times... It was solved when I switched the viewport acceleration to software.

Timothy Saunders · January 11th, 2008

Hmmm. As your viewport performanct still good enough? I'll try it out.

where's "viewport acceleration"? do you mean the graphic card driver?

Timothy Saunders · January 11th, 2008

That's what I think he meant. Are you having the problem to Ed?

Rick Eloy · January 11th, 2008

Exactly. Performance is not like WOW, but we had no more problems...
