After successful installation of 3DMax 7 on Windows Vista the application doesn’t start with the message - ‘couldn’t locate acge16.dll’. All you have to do is to copy all DLL files from ‘C:\Program Files\Common Files\Autodesk Shared’ to the location of your 3DMax installation, for example to ‘C:\3dmax\. After this simple procedure 3DMax works on Vista with no problems.
