Under coordinates, maybe turn the tiling from 5 to default 1?

Zip the scene file and post it. There’s a number of things which could cause that - much easier to look at the actual scene than guess at the cause.

Max 4.2 through 2013.
XP-64 (SP2)
NVidia 9800GTX-512 (Driver 266.58).
Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4GHz, 8Gb Ram, DX9.0c.

here you go

The problem is the size of the UVs. As provided you can’t even see the checkerbox pattern in the Edit UVW window.

Edit the UVs, zoom out so you can see all the unwrapping.
Face level and select all the faces.
Scale it all down almost to a point, move it to where the axes meet.
Repeat until all the unwrapping fits within the box you can see at the origin.
Basically, your UVs are so big that the pattern is repeating many, many times.

The uv results u got probably had to do with the unfold settings. U may have UNchecked the Normalize Clusters. If you check it, it will keep the uvs within the boundary opposed to unfolding at 1:1 scale. Did not help that u Also had your uv tiling set at 5 also opposed to default 1.
