Odd 3ds Max 8 Error

[Higuy]

Hello guys, I am having a weird error in 3ds max 8 containing the UVW unwrap modifier...

When I am on this certain object, select a few faces I choose to unwrap, scroll to the UVW Unwrap modifier, and hit "Edit", 3ds max crashes. None of the other objects do this, and it also still does it when I merge/export it into an entirely new scene.

Any ideas?

Yeah, thanks, but your not really helping the situation here.

I don't know the answer to your problem, I did however find this while searching Google:

http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-3ds-max/autodesk-3ds-max--3ds-max-design-2009/unwrap-uvw-crash-repeatable/

While the thread was posted in 2008 and the issue may not even be related to your problem (since it's about 3ds Max 2009), perhaps the solution in that thread may solve your issue.

delete the 3dsmax.ini file and restart.
