Hi,

 

I had 3ds Max running fine, I tryied to import an obj scene and it ran out of memory.

Then I started it again, it says " initialising 3Ds Max", then "Loading Plugins", then it freeze on "Starting 3ds Max" for hours... I don't know what to do it's urgent that i find a solution 😮 

 

Of course I restarted my comuter, 3 times, let it rest and everything, tried to launch as administrator, unistall 3ds Max from my computer and install it again, and it still freeze when strating the program 😕 I don't knoww what to do and I need it really quick, please help me find a solution ! Thank's a lot !!!

If you don't mind me asking, what is your current system specs?

 

One of those crashes could have been due to insufficient RAM installed/available to the program.

They are sufficient, i7 4790k, corsair vengeance 2x8go, gtx 780ti, everything on SSD, I've working for ages with Max and never got any problems like that with my computer 😞

Hi,

 

You say that you uninstalled and got rid of everything you could find to do with 3DSMax ,then reinstalled.

But did you find the ENU folder?
