Max 3?!

I'd contact ADSK and ask them; that's some arcane stuff there!

[Honki]

Hahahaha!

At least you're honest enough to not download a dodgy new version.

If it wasn't working on vista before your probably SOL. 3dsmax3 is almost a decade old at this point...

On Vista, only 3dsmax version 9, 2008 and 2009 will run.
