This is the strangest thing, I do a draft render and the first time it's fine then I hit the button again to do another and bam my hard drive grinds a little and a window pops up saying the application has encountered an error and will now close, gives me an option to save the file.
I did all the usual stuff disabled plugins, did a clean install of Max 5.1 and applied the service pack. It's still doing it. The weirdest thing is that I hdn't had prblems before but I don't know what really changed on the system <nothing I can think of>. I
t's a really odd thing and sort of a pain in the ass. I also tried merging the geometry into another scene but still I got the same errors. Maybe the object is somehow corrupt? It dosen't seem to matter what I've got in the scene I've tested plain newly created cubes and I get the same thing. In some cases I'll e able to render out a few drafts on something but when I go to save the renders it gives me that same error.
Anybody have a clue? I'll hit the Discreet board later. I'm curious to see what people here think of this though because I think this is genuinely bizzare.
