Hi, i've just recently reformatted my whole hdd, and what i found out when i just reinstalled 3d studio max 4, is that the whole program is lagging behind. i mean, prior to the formatting i didn't have any problems with 3d studio max in terms of "hacks" and "jerks" eh, if you know what i'm talking about? right now i can't model a box with 6 sides without "lag".

I'm running 3dsmax4 on a 1200mhz athlon thunderbird, 384 meg ddr ram... sure, my graphics card is of the earlier sort and so on, but still, i didn't have any problems with this prior to the formatting.

any clues about why? and how to fix it?

thanks.

first thing is to make sure you've reinstalled the latest video drivers. If MAX is using the M$ provided driver the OGL support is horrid and slower than frozen sh*t. course that's if you're using OGL.

haha, nice figure of speech :D
i know that i've got the latest drivers... i fixed it through changing from opengl to direct3d... the strange thing is, when i had the wrong drivers installed open gl worked out just fine... but not now... weird, but now it's online and i'm happy to be out in the contest :D

thanks for the tip though.
