<P>Dude... real nice way to show what ur problem is.</P>
<P>Well...did u try moving other parts of the biped or refreshing the viewport after you move any of the parts ?? Try panning or zooming in the viewport after u move a part....try rotating hands or somethin...</P>

<P>Hmmm, that's quite buggy unless the new CS biped has been made&nbsp;artificially intelligent to detect unregd copies.</P>
<P>Well, I've seen this prob posted on other forums earlier.<BR><BR>The best method to get out of this is to reinstall Max on a new partition.&nbsp;<BR>Hopefully, the biped will learn to behave in the new neighbourhood.</P>
<P>btw, what OS are you using?<BR></P>

<P>Go for SP2!&nbsp;<BR><BR>ideally......when using latest versions of softwares, the OS should also have the latest service packs.</P>

<P>Just check in case if the bip root has been locked in the HIERARCHY mode and LINK INFO tab.Also check if in case there are any additional controllers which might be overwriting the bip root's transformation.</P>
<P>Also run "gc" command once before u create the biped.It is the GARBAGE COLLECTOR command and might just flush any unwanted cache data which might be causing this erratic behaviour..</P>
<P>Will get back to u soon on this as i dont have MAX HELP on my comp.</P>

<P>hey chan3d thanks for help!! yes i knew everything about that. thansk to reminding me HIERARKY panel. i think he by mistake has locked biped from there.i should check that.well about gc(); command it just clear the 3ds max memory.so after that "Undo" command can;t undo the last command.it is very usefull when u have very complex scene.</P>
<P><FONT style=": #c0c0c0"></FONT>&nbsp;</P>
<P><FONT style=": #c0c0c0">As for controllers i checked them first in motion panel's Assign controller tab.they r all right.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT style=": #c0c0c0">i have only option left is to check "Hierchy" tab.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT style=": #c0c0c0">other than only option is left to "Format his PC"<IMG src="smileys/smiley36.gif" border="0"></FONT></P>

<P><FONT style=": #c0c0c0">but in that problem i can;t move biped on any axis.and again if u carefully see the video u can see i tried to move biped on Z axis.but it didn;t move.</FONT></P>
