3ds Max may crash when using various File Open dialogs if Dell's Backup and Recovery software is also installed on the computer. To resolve this issue, do the following:

1. Using Windows Explorer, locate DBRShellExtension.dll, DBROverlayIconBackuped.dll, and DBROverlayIconNotBackuped.dll.
2. Unregister them by running the following commands in a command prompt as an Administrator:

   {code:java}

   regsvr32 /u <location>"\DBRShellExtension.dll"

   regsvr32 /u <location>"\DBROverlayIconBackuped.dll"

   regsvr32 /u <location>"\DBRDBROverlayIconNotBackuped.dll"

   {code}

If these dlls are found but unregistering them does not resolve the problem, try renaming them.
