I have successfully installed 3ds max design 2012 on my computer, but when I open it I cannot see the viewports or anything else [see 'open.png']. However, when I make a torus or any other object, although I cannot see it being made, but when I render the scne, it becomes visible [see 'render.png']. I have clicked on the 'reset' button numerous times, but of no use. Here are the settings of the view meny [see 'view.png']. Anybody please help.
Thank you.
this is mostly likely a hardware issue not a 3ds max issue
3ds max is a graphics card intensive program
i would start looking there
