3 Open a text editor and load 3dsmax.ini. 4 Scroll down the list of entries until you find the data block: [RenderProgressDialogPosition] Dimension=-425 152 379 866 A dialog's position is based off the location of the upper-left corner, anchored by the first pair of digits. Therefore, in this example, the upper-left corner of the dialog is -425 pixels from the left edge of the screen and 152 pixels from the top. The second pair of digits describe the horizontal and vertical size of the dialog, so this dialog is 379 pixels wide and 866 pixels tall. Since this example assumes a single monitor, configured for 1280x1024 resolution, this dialog is off-screen to the left. If the first number were greater than 1280, the dialog would be off-screen to the right. 5 Place your cursor on the "Dimension" line and scroll over to the problem number. The problem number is usually the first or second, since the last two set the width and height of the dialog. 6 Change the problem number to a value that is positive and within 1280x1024. 7 Save the 3dsmax.ini file and start 3ds Max. The next time you render, the Rendering Progress dialog appears appear on-screen. This is the preferred method, because it causes no loss to other custom configuration settings that are stored in the 3dsmax.ini file. Quick Method There are really only two reasons you'd use this method: 1 You've just installed 3ds Max and haven't made any customized settings that get stored in the 3dsmax.ini file. 2 You're in a hurry and don't care about the customized settings that you have stored in the 3dsmax.ini file. 3 Make sure 3ds Max is not running. 4 Open Windows Explorer and browse to the location indicated by the MaxData setting on the Configure System Paths dialog on page 7732. 7882 | Chapter 28 Troubleshooting 3ds Max
