I'm kind of new to 3ds MAX an i've got some problems using it.
(I've got:3ds Max R1.0, Win 95,Cyrix 166+,32 Megs of Ram,Diamond
Stealth 2000)

First of all,when I launch it it always pops up a dialog box asking me
to connect to the Internet.If I press Cacel it completely locks up.
Who can help me?

Secondly, after using it for a long time ,say 1-2 hours,it goes
bezerk.The buttons change colours,the redrawing becomes slow,
sometimes I can't render(it doesn't disply the result of thr render)
It usually happens if I play the preview too many times(in the
viewport).I have the virtual memory set to 120 Megs.

And now,some questions:what are the IPAS everyone after?
Can I safely update to R1.2 or should go to R1.1?
Where can I find the update to R1.1?(I know where R1.2 is)
How can I assign a reflection map to a boolean object?

 Thank you in advance.


P.S. Please do not answer through e-mail if you can

Problem #1: add a -n to the command line (in the icon properties) that
calls up MAX. This will disable the network lookup.

Problem #2:  Sounds like a memory/video card/driver problem. What kind
of video card?

1. UDO importation problem/POV-ray rendering problem?

I just downloaded the newest version of Moray and Pov-ray.  I do my
modelling in Rhino3d, and my scene setup/rendering in Moray/Pov-ray.  I ran
into an interesting problem involving the importation of UDO files (created
in Rhino) into Moray.  The geometry looks fine, however, when I render the
model the surface appears to have warps and bubbles in it (almost like a
water gel is over the light).  This occurs even in simple exports, such as a
rectangular surface.  The problem isn't the texture, since I did the test
rendering with a matte material.  Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,
