Hello @Anonymous and welcome to the community,

I'd like to help you with this, this is a strange issue. Do you think you could record a Screencast (free) video showing me what is happening?

If Max is starting up, you almost never need to reinstall. Usually any problems can be resolved by simply resetting the user settings if they have become corrupted. Is it possible some of those objects are frozen or on a layer that is frozen? I'm not sure what is happening but with a video or a sample file you and I can get to the bottom of this. Thanks for any extra information!

One more thing that might be happening is that your current graphics card isn't supported in 2015. Can you try a different display driver in 3ds Max for me, please?

Best Regards,
