Hi

i recently reinstalled 3dsmax6 on a new computer and i cant get the video renderer to function properly.

all default settings.

when i create a simple scene (like a spinning box) 100 frames, goto the render menu, i choose file, give it a name, choose the '.avi' format and hit save. here the program freezes and stops responding.

if i use '.mov' it simply does nothing when i hit save, doesnt freeze either.

Odd thing is i was able to render once and it created a screwed up 64kb file (avi) which crashed the windows explorer whenever i clicked on it.

Much oddness

Any help appreciated

PS! new puter has proper antivirus etc so that shouldnt be a problem.
