Ahoy! :D
This has been bugging me for quite a while now, so i've FINALLY decided to come here and see if there's a solution.
When I use the Aero theme, I go to start Max up, and I get a message saying that Max isn't compatible with Aero.
My theme changes to the (very ugly) Vista Basic. Which as you can imagine, makes me a VERY sad Forumite.
Is there a way to fix this...?
We techies are clever...but we're not magicians.... (except maybe tk) :p
everyone knows autodesk havent bothered including aero compatability in 3DS MAX 2008 ;)
It has apparently been "fixed" in 2009. You can download the 30 day product trial Here (

nb. as recently as June 23rd 2008 Graphics Qualification Report (
http://www.autodesk.com/us/3dsmax/qualchart/3dsMax2009_windows_phaseI.htm#123), Autodesk were still recommending switching off Aero as a troubleshooting strategy. Interesting to not that they STILL havent tested DX10 in it yet :p
If you are using 2009 and it still isnt working, then you are SOL (

Oh well... Never mind... :(
