when i try to export my map as a jms it freezes a little and gives me this error

An error has occured and the application will now close
do you want to attemp to save a copy of the current scene?

thats what i get when i save it as a jms

When I put the 4 dll's in the system32 folder it gave me that error "these files are being used right now by another program " that error, so i moved those dlls into another folder in my documents (i put them there for back ups) after that i put my other 4 dll's in that i got w/ the plugin and i got the error that i told you about before

IF you want to run the programs at the same time (though you probably can already, I can run 3ds max 4 times, UHMM as many times as I want...) place the required dlls in the directories for the programs
The program searches for dlls like this:
App Directory
System32
Windows
So, if you are running two different programs, the one with the DLLs in its own directory will use those versions of the DLLs and the other will use the System32 DLLs

When you are copying dlls, be sure to close everything with the Task Manager (except explorer and stuff like that)

Ok, back on topic:

I have the same error. I know it has nothing to do with my dll's because I did it just after starting up my computer. Maybe it has something to do with how I link them. Here is my link tree:

frame
>skybox
>base01
>base02

I also tried this:

frame
>skybox
>>base01
>>base02

What does my tree have to be?

frame
>skybox
>base01
>base02

Link the stuff to the frame only.
