Don't delete them. There are some GTP Max5 scenes that I can open without a problem in 3ds Max9. Another option would be to export the scene objects as a .3ds file and open the file on a newer version of max. Just make sure to have the material from the old scene in the folder with the exported .3ds file.

A 3ds Max5 scene opened in 3ds Max9:

A different car from a different 3ds Max 5 scene, imported into a modified Cosmin 3ds Max 2016 scene.

JT is correct, you can open older max scenes with newer max versions, you cannot open newer scenes with old max versions.

Awesome...thanks guys....Ive been away from the whole scene for many years, then managed to get NR2003 to work on my WIN10 and have decided to play around with what I could, and when I couldn't get Max 5 or 6 to work on my computer I was thinking it was a lost cause

These guys are correct 3ds max is forward compatable, and later versions offer backward. But they rarely work. Brazil stopped at about Max 2012, so after that best to use Mentalray or Corona.
Old brazil materials need to be reset as NON brazil.
