		location you specify.

	* Configures 3ds max 9 to use the NVIDIA MAXtreme 9 D3D driver.

		(Quadro-based) graphics card. Note: If a Quadro-based 
		graphics card is not installed in your system, the MAXtreme
		driver will not be installed.

		Note that If such an installation doesn’t exist, or if the
		installation program detects an older version of these
