Just a note, I had a similar problem once when my Weitek had partially
worked its way out of the socket. 3DS would try to start up, then it would
stop and give me a message saying my 3DS.SET file had an invalid parameter.
I would comment out that parameter and it would stop at some other
parameter later on. After commenting out a couple of parameters, it would
finally let me into 3DS, but would soon lock up when I tried any functions.
Not suspecting the MathCo, and working under a deadline, I stripped every
piece of hardware out of my 386, testing it each time, with no success.
Eventually around 1:00 in the morning I noticed the loose Weitek…sick.
