using 3dmax 7
SGT PEPPER
I am trying to use 3dmax7 to do some map work, just installed 3dmax7 and the plug ins, now when I try to put texture on material editor I get this: error creating direct 3d device. Does anyone know what is wrong?

Not sure if this will fix your problem. I am not very good with 3DS Max, but i found out that you can use version 8 without problems. Try this package: https://www.media...g.rar/file
There is everything you might need.

I have 3dmax working but I get instances overlaying the screen and they continue to build up until you cant see past them, I attached a image, does anyone know why its doing this? I used 3dmax on windows7 and never had a problem.

Sorry, thought I posted the fix here. this video is the problem I was having, the solution is in the comments below the video, very simple fix, but it works!

Rightclick on 3dsmax.exe and go to properties and set to run as admin.
Copy the 3dsmax.exe and change its properties settings to run as admin.
Make a shortcut of the copyed exe and change its properties to run as admin.

This fixed the error creating 3d device issue ;
goto C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3dsMax8\stdplugs\dxplugins and move both

dds.bmi
dxDDS.bmi

to

C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3dsMax8\stdplugs\

This should do the trick, gives some popups, but works nonetheless.

Thanks to Jimmy
