Error in 3dsMax 5

[ricardoarauj]

guys every time i open a archive .max who have a BlizRibbon in the 3dsMax 5 immediately an error occurs "an error has ocurred and the application will now close. Do you want to attempt to save a copy of the current scene?"
and then, no matter what I do the program closes
anyone know how to save-me?? thx

PS:I do not know if it's only with BlizRibbon that generates the error, but it was the only one who realized that surely generates the error

Ive never had that error. If the file is yours you could try looking for a backup version in the 3dsmax5/Autoback/ folder. 3dsmax saves backups of your files and it has saved me a lot of times from starting from zero.

This happens if you missed to assign a texture to the ribbon before saving/closing the program. The file becomes corrupted that way. If you create a ribbon object and assign a texture right after that, than save/close and you'll be able to load it again.
