An error has occurred and the application will close

I've tried everything I can think of.

3ds max 9
OS: Windows 2000 Pro
1GB Ram
128MB ATI Radeon x600 SE
Only other application running was Firefox.

I get "An error has occurred and the application will close" when I run the old DTS Exporter Utility or Plus.

I get "Unknown System Exception" when I run Quick Export with the new DTS Exporter Utility. The MAXScript window comes up with dts_utility.ms and "exportFile dtsFileName" highlighted.

I can send you a copy of the max file if you like. It is properly embedded and bounded. It is a bus with about 30 separate objects.

Help! ...

I have the same problem with Max 8. However if I place a box around the scene and call that box "bounds" it works but I get a warning that the scene is empty. Can anybody please post how the exporter is suppsed to work?

Thank you.
