Gmax problem

[dutchrazor]

Hi,

I tried to download Gmax from Turbosquid, but got an invalid CRC error with the file.

I changed the exe to .rar, and winrar said that the following files were corrupt:

! C:\Documents and Settings\Fabien\Mijn documenten\Mijn downloads\gmax12.rar: CRC failed in gmaxsetup1.cab. The file is corrupt
! C:\Documents and Settings\Fabien\Mijn documenten\Mijn downloads\gmax12.rar: CRC failed in instmsi.exe. The file is corrupt
! C:\Documents and Settings\Fabien\Mijn documenten\Mijn downloads\gmax12.rar: CRC failed in instmsiw.exe. The file is corrupt
! C:\Documents and Settings\Fabien\Mijn documenten\Mijn downloads\gmax12.rar: CRC failed in m6.cab. The file is corrupt

Anyone got an idea how to fix it?

Thx in advance.

P.S. I tried winrar's archive fix option, no result :S

and what is wrong with .exe?

It says CRC erro with the exe

I have downloaded it several times including after a reboot.

Well, mayby it's because gmax doesn't exist anymore, autodesk(the new maker of 3dsmax) took it of the market so there arn't many mirrors left that offer a correct version, but you could try and download blender(another program) that is pretty similiar to gmax I think(never used it, I've got 3dsmax)

blender won't export to bf2.

I have downloaded 3DS Max 8 , but now I get an error, it hangs at: RaySat_3dsmax8 Server
and says I need to be system admin, which I am.

Edit: It works thanks to a registry fix. so im trying to learn the program now.
