I get that when i try to open it.

could be a few things wrong here...
are there any material id's missing from your model?
don't use a mutlimaterial unless you have more than 1 bitmap to apply to the same object.
what are you trying to export to?
could also be a problem with your model,i've seen problems like this go a way after the model has been remade.

Its just when i try to open a GMAX window, i cant even use GMAX becuase of this :(


Ive re-downloaded and re-started my computer.

what moooseguy said is very good advice,you can do so much more with 3ds.

when you uninstalled gmax before redownloading it and reinstalling,did you
clean your registry so that anything relating to gmax was removed?
use this to keep the registry of your pc clean...http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner

remember to back your models up before uninstalling.

cant get 3ds max :(

You can get 3ds Max legally under a student liscense.

problem.

And my computer is retardedm so i cant even install it, as the installer requires it to connect to the internet, and my computer cannot let ANYTHING other than internet explorer connect to the internet.

Dude, goto control panel and turn off UAC and other restrictions then.

Telling someone with a gmax issue to GET MAX is NOT good advice, and it never has been. How would you like it if someone told that to you?
Seeing as you've uninstalled and reinstalled, it's not a problem with any of those settings... sometimes settings you inadvertently change can keep gmax or 3dsmax from starting.

Has gmax run well on that computer in the past?

If not, then this is definitely a computer-spec problem, sorry.
If so, then you should give uninstalling another shot, and uninstall as completely as you can. Then we'll look into permissions problems and things like that. Moose suggests that you change your UAC controls-- that's not entirely safe, and it's another 'conclusion' people will want to jump to.

Yes, GMAX has worked on this computer before.

And what can changing UAC do in terms of being hurtful?

Ask some Gmax forums or something.

Well, this is weird. I can't find where that errored file is on my gmax, so I can't send you a replacement file. Sorry...

I have yet to find any :(

Sorry but this is incorrect. UAC settings are designed to let stupid or inexperienced computer users not screw up their computers. I assume this guy is smart enough to use one properly, and therefore it is beneficial to him to disable these restrictions.

how stupid an inexperienced?

Guess I'm still a little frazzled about you changing my UAC on team speak.

How do i clear my directory? The same errors come up all the time.

You'll need to search that program in your registry, and remove keys or folders relating to that program. This is something you can do if removing all files does not solve the issue. There are online tutorials regarding registry modification.

Also Slappy, changing your UAC helped you, did it not?

Meh. I guess.

like this...
i use xp,so i will explain the procedure i would use.
click on (start) type regedit press (enter)
in the window that opens do this >>
click the + beside>
HKEY_CURRENT_USER
scroll down and click on (software)
scroll down and click on (autodesk)
here you should see (gmax)
right click on it and delete.
gmax should now be gone from you pc's registry,
restart you pc,reinstall gmax from you download/installer
