Hey everyone!
After being away from my computer for about a month my 3ds Max 9 has stopped working.
Here are my computer specs:
All I get when I try to run the program is a flash of the splash screen and then nothing. Rarely the splash screen stays up but freezes when loading the "stdplugs".
Here's what I've tried, without any luck:

I'm kind of running out of ideas here. I guess a format and a fresh install of windows would probably fix it. But that's a hassle.
I know that 3ds Max 9 isn't officially supported on Windows 8 but it was working a month ago and I haven't updated windows or max. I'm thinking that I might have installed something else that is interfering with it.
So, any ideas on how to get 3ds Max 9 to run again?
Thanks!

Here's what I've tried, without any luck:
- I've tried to rename the plugin that it freezes on. However it just tries to load the next one and freezes in the same way. So I guess it's not a plugin problem.
- I've tried to remove the whole stdplugs folder. But that (obviously) just made it crash in another way.
- I am running it as admin and I've tried all compatibility mode settings.
- I have installed all the SPs and all the hotfixes.
- I've tried to clear all traces of Autodesk in the registry. (Might be some hidden somewhere under another name?)
- I've tried to reinstall it.
- I've tried to uninstall everything from Autodesk.
- I've tried installing it on my C-drive and on my D-drive.
- I've tried installing it in '...\Program Files\...' and in '...\Program Files (x86)\...'. I guess it belongs in (x86) though?.
