3ds Max 7 Crash:

 

EDIT: switched to 3ds max 9 and now everything works fine! Thank you everyone!

( im pretty new to modding and 3d modeling in general so yeah keep that in mind while reading this :p  oh and English is not my first language)

Hi everyone so a few months ago i started to learn about CnC3 modding and right now im at a stage where i can do moderate modifications to XML files extracted using WrathED and i wanted to try something new and add a new 3D model to the game, i have previously managed to add unused assets or assets from Tib wars 3 to kanes wrath but never really tried adding anything new,

so i looked up some tuts and read the doc files for modeling and w3x importing in the official MOD SDK, everything was going pretty smoothly, well besides the fact that 3d max 7 crashed every time i closed it, but it was no big deal so i moved on aaand now im stuck,  im at stage where i need to import the Material Shader Maps? (DirectX9 Shaders?) or whatever its called so i can then add the spec map and normal maps to my Models BUT every time i click on any .fx files that are from the CNC3 folder 3d max crashes with the same error ( An error has occurred and the application will now close. Do you want to attempt to save a copy of the current scene?) if i accept ,every time i open the backup it either gives the same error or an error in the lines of the app has ran out of Memory (I have 16g of ram so i dont think thats the main problem).

And yeah thats pretty much it, I hope someone knows the solution as i would LOVE to work on this game more. Thanks in advance to everyone

Here are my system properties if they can be of any use:

OS:  Win 10 (64bit)

graphics card:  GeForce GTX 1050 Ti

processor:      Intel Core i7-7700HQ CPU 2.80GHZ 2.81GHZ

DirectX: 12
