3ds Max Viewport Problems
March 28th, 2008
This just in from the Troubleshooting Desk: 3ds Max 8 and 9 do not play well with Microsoft’s Direct3D 8 or 9 drivers as served by this author’s Nvidia GeForce card in XP, at least with ForceWare Release 169.21. Both versions of Max, while using Direct3D, exhibit periodic viewport refreshes that overwrite any other UI elements including windows, menus, and dialog boxes.
Switching from the Direct3D driver to OpenGL in Customize > Preferences > Viewport has solved my problems. Your mileage may vary.

Hi
I’ve got the same problem with 3dsmax… moreover I’ve got that problem in AFX :/
I’m wandering what’s Your computer’s configuration.
Please contact me via email.

I haven’t had any trouble in AFX, though I haven’t used any of the 3D features since I upgraded my video card.

Hi
I coudn’t send You mail cause, it was returned by my ISP… anyway…
i figure it out, what was the issue of this strange refreshing
that was intellipoint driver!
after uninstall, all things went back to normal
i found this solution on autodesk forum - they wrote that intellipoint and logitech mouse drivers may cause problems with viewport
sorry for my english
