Max 2011 locking up Exporting OBJ

CJE

I'm using Max 2011 and I'm trying to export my model into an OBJ format for UVW'ing in an external application. However whenever I try to export my model, it gets hung up on the export details screen and just says


prepraring polymesh for normal export....


and nothing. The cancel button doesnt work and I have to alt tab to close the program.


It's not a large file either its only 5000 tri's and I've never had this issue before.


I've tried resetting Xform.

try turning off 'render procedurals' under the 'map-Export' button. That constantly crashes for me

Sometimes things just go wrong with your mesh ... not sure why and how, but you could try saving the file starting new scene and just merging your old mesh in to the new scene and try to export it from there or convert it to editable mesh and back to editable poly ( assuming it was editable poly) . Those tricks work sometimes.
