Please help!
I’ve got a lab full of PCs (26) running Windows XP (32 bit) and Max 2009 with Direct X and Geforce 9600GT cards.
At random times, Max will freeze on any pull down menus. Click File, then try to click save, and nothing, it’s frozen.If we hit Ctrl+Alt+Del, then cancel, it accepts the save click and you are presented with the save dialogue box?!?!?
If you try to use the select by name icon, it freezes big time and only way out is Ctrl+Alt+Del, then shut down, then it pops back to Max.
I haven’t been able to find out what causes the menu freezing to start. It doesn’t happen all the time. I’ve tried software mode too, doesn’t seem to make a difference. I’ve installed SP1, I’ve tried newer Nvidia drivers = no success.
I’m a pretty good troubleshooter, and this one has me stumped. Probably because it doesn’t happen all the time. I’m open for any and all suggestions. My older version of Max 7 didn’t do this, just seems to be 2009.
Much thanx
PS - It's not the same issue people seem to be having with the Intellemouse software, I've read those posts. I have an MS mouse but I'm pretty sure it's just the built in windows drivers. From what I've read, I'm the first one to have this issue - figures...
