    3d studio max freezing in win 7


    I've just upgraded to windows 7 and ive just installed 3d studio max 8 back on to my system and as soon as it launches it starts to load the main screen then freezes.
    Now ive had no problems when i was running xp but just cant seem to get it running on windows 7.

    my rig is:-
    athlon x2 2.2ghz
    4gb ram
    2 * 7800gto 512mb graphics cards in sli
    2* 250gb hdd's

    ive made sure ive got the latest graphics drivers and that DX is update aswell. any ideas what i could do next?

    Why not call up Autodesk and ask them?

    They have no support for Windows 7 at this time,
    Issue

    You are wondering about support for running 3ds Max 2010 and 3ds Max Design 2010 on a computer using Windows 7

    Solution

    Windows 7 is not a tested environment for 3ds Max 2010, 3ds Max Design 2010, and previous versions. Please be aware that while nothing may prevent you from using Windows 7 and these products, we may not be able to resolve every issue you encounter at this time.

    I would try to launch it in Windows XP SP3 Compatibility mode. Right click on the Icon, click on Properties, click on Compatibility, then check Windows XP SP3.
