I’m having a problem with my max and vray loading up.  I had a trial version of vray installed on my computer, and I then tried to update to a newer copy of vray..1.5 sp2.  The plugin didnt work so I tried uninstalling 3d max and all versions of vray.  However, when i reinstalled max and started it up, it said it couldnt find the vray plugins, which shouldnt happen because I installed vray and 3dsMax all together. It a brand new install, why is it asking for vray if it shouldnt know that I’m going to even install it.  Obv then trying to install the vray pugin doesnt work at all, because 3ds max is looking for some old version of vray license that doesnt exist.

I’m using vista 32 bit addition.  Does anyone know what the problem is, or how i can get rid of all the 3ds max data so it doesnt try to load vray from the start.

thanks

Sometimes, even when you uninstall, you leave subfolders behind. This happens especially when you install a 3rd party software.
My advice would be to uninstall again, then go into the Program Files\Autodesk\3D Studio Max 2009\ folder, and delete everything. You may want to go into the registry and search for any keys related to vRay, but only do that if yuo are comfortable modifying the registry.

Vray’s uninstaller is an abomination.
I was just trying to uninstall it, but it did’nt wanna fully go.
Search hidden and system files, regedit, resetting max’s tool’s and ui settings, got rid of it but I’m sure I’ve missed some stuff.
