GMax error

Postby stevewilson » Tue May 25, 2004 3:33 pm

Does anyone know how to take care of this start up error in GMax

"Interactive 3D Renderer initialization failed.
Please check your device setting by using the -H command line option"

I'm not sure what it means by "-H command line option"

I now get this after I first ran gmax and set up the preferances.

Any ideas anyone.

Steve. It's been a long time & I no longer have Gmax installed. Try this. Right-click on the Gmax shortcut on your desktop. In the Target box leave a space & type -h at the end of the path. (This is the -H command.)

Click OK & run Gmax from the shortcut. You should be presented with an option box. Select one of the options & try it. If that doesn't fix it exit Gmax & try another option. Once it's fixed you can remove the -h.

Sorry. I should have said right-click the shortcut & select Properties. :-[

PS. Glad you fixed it anyway. ;)
