I've just installed 3dsm 2010, and I get this message when I try and open it:

3Dsmax.exe - Application Error "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135). Click on OK to terminate the application."

Here's the information it gives me next:

Anyone know what's going on? Operating system is Vista, BTW.

Hi!

Just try change the compatibility to Windows XP with SP3 and run this app as administrator.
I think it should help

BTW. Sory for my bad english :P

Thanks for the response. I tried that, but it didn't work. I actually got it working, though. apparently there was something wrong with the disc. I tried downloading the trial version from Autodesk's website instead of using the CD, and that worked.
