Not able to allocate more faces (crash) - but you have gigabytes of free ram
Windows 32 can only address 1.3GB inside any given process. This includes whatever overhead you have for max. To make use of the rest of your ram, you will need to adda /3GB flag to your boot.ini file. To edit the boot.ini, you first need to see it.
Go to c: and under tools->folder options->view you need to uncheck 'hide protected operating system files', and check 'show hidden files'. (note : you'll want to restore those options after your edit). Open up boot.ini and add the flag (sample below): [boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect /3GB Save out the file and reboot.
When
max loading the message "Access denied :
disable UAC if you running under Vista" pops
up and LBrush plug-in does not load
Windows Vista
has the built-in ability to automatically
reduce the potential of security breeches in
the system. It does that by automatically
enabling a feature called User Account
Control (or UAC for short). The UAC forces
users that are part of the local
administrators group to run like they were
regular users with no administrative
privileges.
Solution:
disable UAC to run max having administrative
privileges.
Launch
MSCONFIG by from the Run menu.
Click on the
Tools tab. Scroll down till you find
"Disable UAP" (this should probably
change to UAC in next Vista beta builds
and in the RTM version). Click on that
line.
Press the
Launch button.
A CMD window
will open. When the command is done, you
can close the window.
Close
MSCONFIG. You need to reboot the
computer for changes to apply.

x64 Windows Vista or XP performs some automatic redirection when
installing or linking Dynamic Link Libraries. So Wintab32.dll might have been placed in WINDOWS/System32 but into
WINDOWS/SysWOW64 and Dynamic Linking System
does not find it.
Solution:
Place a copy of 32 bit Wintab32.dll into
WINDOWS/System32 directory.
