Chimp is not a plugin, it is a MAXscript, you need to put it in your MAXscript folder and run it by using the MAXscript option on the top toolbar.

ok well you said your following the thing step by step, so just to make sure ill go throughthe steps w you again.

make your map and like it to the box named frame.
go into max script ont he righthandside toolbar and click run script. select the chimp script and click ok
pull down the tab box abd select chimp and a list of things should pop up below it
under the export optoion uncheck the box that says write debug info and then click the box that says listiner window. export your map and open up the grablistiner. save the file as yourmapname.jms (type in .jms)
then run the .jms through tool (im not goin into all that you can learn from their on w the hek tutorials. when you un-click teh write debug info that just makes it so you can skip the steps that make you open it up in notepad and edit it aka it saves you a few steps.) hope this helps, if not and your not just geting an error message, well ill be the first to say, im my opinion your screwed
