NVIDIA GeForce FX 5600 with 256 mg's built in ram on AGP. Computer has 2Gig cpu and 768mg's ram. O\S WinXP Home, directx 9.0c. Sorry should have said this earlier. Tried direct 3d even the tut's won't work

Would look up your driver version for me in the Device manager? If it's older than 5.6.7.2., then upgrade it to that one, or newer, and figure out a way to turn OpenGL on in the driver settings, I haven't touched that in a long time, so I wouldn't know automatically how to do it, beleave me, it'll work faster than before, NVidia's are better in OpenGL than any other manufacturer's cards. Oh, and my strong suggestion would be to loose the WinXPHome, and get WinXPPro, XPHome is crap.

The only difference between xp home and rofessional is that pro has increased netwok capability and can handle multiple processors... apart from that... their the same.

As for the Nvidia card comment, I use ATI and mine is fine...

We all have our oppinions tho... unfortunately dude I cant help with your dilemma. $:-\$

Graphic's driver is 6.6.9.3 .I could roll it back to see if that help's

. As far as Pro vs Home don't know a thing about Pro never use'd it. Thank's for the help I'll take all I can get. Would like to get max working so I can try doing some brk-mods.

I recently got max 4 and I'm having this same exact problem. I can export ok but every time I try to import it freezes up.

I have an ATI Radeon 7000 graphics card with most recent driver, 2.26 GHz processor, 384 MB of RAM and I'm using Windows XP Pro and directx 9.0c. If anyone figures out how to fix this, please help.
