Max 5 suddenly not working on Windows 7
Hello all!! I had Max MSP/Jitter running on my PC for quite a while and suddenly today it wouldn't open. I tried repairing, uninstall (+ deleting Temp files and registry) and reinstall but it is not working! I'm using the trial version of the latest Max 5.
My whole project for the uni is on Max/Jitter and I'm really freaked out.
Thank you in advance!
Had the same problem and followed the instructions from the digidesign website. It appears protools have similar issues with win7. It worked for me:
Disable DEP
* Open the Start menu and type "cmd" (without the quotations). The Result you get should be "cmd.exe".
* Right-click on "cmd.exe" and choose "Run as administrator".
* Click the Allow button if it asks you for permission.
* Type or copy & paste this into the command prompt window: bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx AlwaysOff
* Hit enter and you should see the confirmation: Operation Completed Successfully.
* Restart the computer and DEP should be off.
If you would like to re-enable DEP enter the following into the command prompt window:
* bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx OptIn
* Hit enter and you should see the confirmation: Operation Completed Successfully.
* After restarting the computer, DEP will be re-enabled.
We now automatically set the DEP exception on Windows, as of 5.1.2 I think. Grab the latest installer in any case.

I did the same but for some reason still doesn't work. I don't understand, it has been working just fine.
Please help me
I have had a similar experience today after working without a problem for several months with Windows 7 64 and Max 5. I turned off DEP and loaded the latest Max. Max still will not open. Has anyone had any other ideas? Thanks.
