Ok, as most of you know the first time you run 3dsmax it asks you what type of render it should use for the view port. I usually pick direct X because its like 80x faster than software render but i accidentally picked software last time i installed it. (because of hardrive wipe) Does anyone know how to change the settings in max or which .ini i need to edit to change it. Because its really starting to bug me when i'm unwrapping textures and the view port is it rendering at 0.5 frames per second.

Change graphics mode. And try using Open GL.

you can also add -h in thd commandline of your shortcut, which presents you with a little popup everytime you start max, which lets you choose graphic modes.
