This is the wrong forum for that question as it's not hardware / OS related. There's a specific one for older versions (3ds Max through 2008).
Rename your 3dsmax.ini or edit it as per
this thread. Ignore the link - the location was different in Max 8 (in the installdir IIRC).
Max 2016 (SP1/EXT1)
Win7Pro x64 (SP1). i5-3570K @ 4.4GHz, 8Gb Ram, DX11.
