max to dts exportation denied

Hey. I followed the tutorial here to get the basics, but something's broken. When I try to export, 3ds max gives some ambiguous error, like "an error occured, the program must exit." A dts file is created, but it is blank. Another file called dump.dmp is output, and here's what it says:

*************************************************
Max file C:\My Documents\My Projects\V12\bare bones\stuff\playerGfx\box.max exported to c:\my documents\my projects\v12\bare bones\stuff\playergfx\box.dts

First pass: collect useful nodes...

Processing Node shape with parent Scene Root
Found subtree starting at Node "shape"
Processing Node start with parent shape
Processing Node box 100 with parent start
Processing Node detail 100 with parent shape
Processing Node bounds with parent Scene Root
Bounding box found

Second pass: put shape structure together...

Adding detail named "detail 100" of size 100 to subtree "shape".
Adding node "shape" with parent "shape" to subtree rooted on max-node "shape".
Adding node "start" with parent "shape" to subtree rooted on max-node "shape".
Adding node "box 100" with parent "start" to subtree rooted on max-node "shape".
Attaching object to node.
Adding object named "box".
Adding mesh of size 100 to object "box".
Object offset transform:
scale: x=1.00000, y=1.00000, z=1.00000
stretch rotation: x=0.00000, y=0.00000, z=0.00000, w=1.00000
translation: x=0.00000, y=0.00000, z=0.00000
actual rotation: x=0.00000, y=0.00000, z=0.00000, w=1.00000

Third pass: Collapsing unneeded nodes...

Removing node "shape"
Removing node "start"
Adding mesh of size 50 to object "box".

I tried leaving out certain parts of the tutorial, like the collision box, but it didn't help. I also opened one of the max files that came with the sdk and tried to export it, and it worked better, though I still got an error about too many subtrees and a blank dts.

Thanks,
Dan
