Andy,
You need a math-co, bro. Do you have a 386 computer ? If so, you can
purchase one at your local computer reseller. Verify that you have an
available 80C387 socket open on your motherboard. If you have a '486, which
has a built-in FPU, you should verify the POST BIOS settings. AMI-bios equiped
computers have a 'switch' in the set-up routine to enable/disable your
math-co/FPU.
Good luck!!

Remember weitek is no longer supported under R3.

You need a math coprocessor to run 3D Studio. You probably have a
486"sx" (or worse yet, a 386). For the former, you need to get a real
486 (DX). If the 386 is what you have, just get a matching 387 (it
should be at least the same clock rate as your 386).
Now, if you have a math co and still get that, beats me…
Andy:
Assuming you have a 386 and an INTEL mathco-, try opening up the
machine, and making sure you're grounded (touch the metal of the
machine &/or a water-pipe — we all DO have water pipes next to our
machines, don't we?) press down on the math-co with your thumb to
make wure it's well-seated — sometimes chips work themselves up and
partially out of their sockets because of expansion and contraction
due to heating and cooling.
