hi people ...
i somehow managed to get the files intact for 3dsmax 9 .. sp2 .. 32bit
try this .. i think it should work .. it did for me ..
what i did was .. at my workplace i installed the software on one pc
(it worked fine)
i then copied all the files in their respective folders .. brought them to my place n pasted them back into the folders they were residing in ..
it worked ..
in other words ... have a look at the installation video at npower software .. carefully check the location of the files and folders ...
try installing the software on your friend's pc, search and copy the files as they are ... paste them back into your pc ...
pray for daylight
good luck guys! ...
