Maxscript not working

[erilaz]

What happens when you open a script?

It looks like a setup problem... try renaming your 3dsmax.ini to 3dsmax.bak and restarting the program. If it clears up there may be a corruption in your ini file.

I have never seen this, but it could be related to missing Windows components.
MAXScript is using some DLLs related to the RichEdit library.
Does your Start>Programs>Accessories>WordPad work correctly?

Thank you bobo: Yes my wordpad is working ok.

hi,

you could try and delete the maxscrpt.dsk file in your max-root directory (make a backup first!)

if that doesn't work, you can try to repair your max installation (note that if you custumized your max, you might lose those settings)

hOpe this helps,

Thank you ofer-z, but deleting that file didnt work. I tried repairing max but it didnt work either.

Thank you very much.

Does anybody have another idea?

Reinstalling Windows? Calling Discreet?
Just thinking aloud...

I think the next stage should be as Bobo suggests. Call your reseller or discreet. This sounds like a far more in depth issue than just a configuration corruption.
