I'm assuming you're using Reactor? There are included Reactor tutorials with Max.

Max 6 has a built in ragdoll generation script that makes them pretty easy (asset browser >> scripts.) Anyway, sounds like your problem is that you're not giving the ragdoll weight. Select the whole thing, then click "Open Property Editor" which is the fourth button from the bottom on the default menu to the left. Give the properties a weight amount. Also note, if you don't create a rigid body with zero weight, a plane for instance, your ragdoll will fall into the oblivion.

Anyway. Check out the tutorials that come with max, they're really all I've used and I'm getting better really fast.

I assume you already had reactor create the keyframe.
