I just installed the most recent version of 3dsmax version 9. But all of my window panes in the program turn white, when I click on one individually and move around in the pane the white disapears, but then returns. This is obvisouly some type of video error. My problem is that my system specs far exceed the necessary requirements for max. I have uninstalled and reinstalled with the same problem. Anyone know how to fix this?

Check your video card drivers, make sure you have the latest and greatest. I'm guessing (by your other posts) that you're running Vista - make sure that 3dsMax 9 is Vista ready and check Google for any 3dsMax forums that might have some insight. If all else fails, exercise your 3dsMax support features and contact Autodesk support.

hope this helps

In the settings see if you can changing from/to Direct3d/OpenGL... I had a similar issue where changing the setting helped alleviate those issues.
