3DS max 9 interface glitch :/

fdfxd

I've searched everywhere for a solution for this problem,

this never happened with 3DS max 2014 or 2011 or 2013.

3ds Max 9 and 2009 are separate releases. (Just FYI) Both are pretty old. Unless you are using 2009 on Windows XP or Vista, you're probably going to see glitches.

OH!

I get what you mean,
I'm using an out dated version of 3ds max right?

So what's the difference between 9 and 2009?

they're two version numbers apart -> max 9 -> 2008 -> 2009. yours should be from sometime in 2007.
oh and improvements of course. might sound alien today but back then they did put some worthwhile additions into releases still. max 9 i remember had huge speedups over the predecessor and was much more stable when using fx shaders in the viewports, too.

@Thomas and monster
Thanks.
So I guess this means that... I should upgrade to 2011?

It looks like you are using Windows 8. The oldest version with official Windows 8 support is 3ds Max 2013.
