I have found a way around what was going on.
Here is the biggest issue I was hitting - it seems to consider the PICKED objects and PICKED lights to be akin to settings that are SAVED. I had Autosave turned on in Max.
I believe that every time my Max tried to Autosave, the Demo security featured wiped out all 'saved' settings, including the picked objects.
It was frustrating to say the least...it works as long as I remember to either turn off Autosave while using the demo, or periodically recheck and repick items.
I'm past that issue, and now struggling with Tutorial 2 (the jet engine-like object). Hopefully I'll figure it out.
