After the upgrade 3ds is crashing. If I move out of the plugins folder the 2 files maxwell.dlr and maxwellshave.dll I can start just fine. Not sure what it is because the upgrade was not about 3ds max plug in...

It's explained in the Plug-in updates thread:

IMPORTANT: this build is incompatible with Maxwell 2.6.0, and the previous builds are incompatible with the newly released Maxwell 2.6.10. Due to some changes in the extensions (hair, particles etc.) mixing incompatible plug-in and Maxwell versions will cause Max to crash on startup. Please make sure you upgrade both the plug-in and Maxwell to the latest version.

Got it. You may want to add a note in your email notification. The one I received didn't mentioned that the plug in also had to be updated. Maybe a previous email was sent out about that one, don't recall it though...

Thanks much for the prompt response. Fixed now.
