Are you using VRay or Scanline Rendering? That will make a difference in the tutorial.

I see you applied the turbosmooth to the glass. You also need to apply it to the cubes.

Then if you are using vray, use a vray material turn the refract all the way up, set the diffuse to white and apply a noise map to the refract map slot. Adjust the size of the noise so it becomes grainy and not lumpy.

This is what it should look like (see image).

Once you've installed it, start max and bring up your render scene dialog. Scroll down to the assign renderer bit and click the "..." button next to "production:" If you've installed it correctly it should show up in the available list. Then you just have to select it.
