it used to happen to me when i was using 3dsmax4 ( old happy days ) .then i used to uninstall first then delete the 3dsmax folder then reinstall again.that worked for me for lots of times.and also uninstall all the extra plugins u installed.

Kind of a bump.
This happend to my Max 7 a couple months back. I cleaned my registry and that didnt work. I made a clean install of Max and that didnt work. I ran a virus scanner on the Max folder, and somehow some of the files kept getting virus and when i cleaned them Max just started working again. I hope this helps.
