Hello,

What about windows virtual pc: http://www.microsoft.com/downloadS/deta ... laylang=en

Or virtual box: http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Screenshots

Not sure if there any good or if they work properly on 64bit but both are free I think cooll;

Hi Codenstuff
Thanks for that, VirtualPC, i already have that and guess what? "its not compatable with Win7 Premium" cryer;

+++update+++ I have just installed VirtualBox wahooo;
and i will run Xp on that and see if that will run my 3D Max, as i really only want to be able to run my 32bit copy on it

thanks again for your Help cooll;

I personally like VMWare Player better than any virtual pc/machine I've used, because I can connect my webcam in the virtual machine. It's compatible with Windows (32bit & 64bit) as well as Linux (i386 = 32bit & AMD64 = 64bit)

I downloaded VMWare Player here, because I didn't wanna register to the site lol. (I'm using the free trial for VMWare Workstation right now though)

You do know 32bit software can run perfectly fine under 64bit. Just install it in the special 32 bit folder(C:\Program Files(x86)

Works fine for every software I own.

Oh. But you can probably download the 64 bit version from the 3D Max website and use your serial on that. There are usually two versions of software for 32 and 64 bit ;)

Hi Chocolate
I have a really old version that i bought way back in the day (Version 3) and i know that is not supported anymore :( I dont want to download a Trial Version of the new Version as it will stop working after 30 days.

I need to get mine working somehow

Hi All

Well i got VirtualBox working fine cooll; But i have tried WinXP Home and Professional and i get to the Setup/Licence Agreement and press F8 to agree and nothing happens, and thats on both. :? It just stays on the Licence Agreement page and does not get any further.

I even tried an old version of Win 98SE to see if that would install, and even that would not have it ;)

The Only Operating sys I managed to get on VirtualBox was Ubuntu.
