Please help me. This is my first time when i am using the studio max.

Install the latest direct x version from microsoft.com

Reinstall/upgrade direct X.
Why don't you try blender instead? it uses openGL to render everything including its own interface!
get it from:
www.blender.org

do what mastermind said, and if it still doesn't work, replace that file with another one which you can download from some p2p client
