I think I need to reinstall max, but at this point, how?

First some background...
I'm installing a new digitizer into a PXI-based setup. I installed NI Scope v3.8.7, as it came with the digitizer and the instructions directed that I should install it, first. Upon restart (what the instructions said to do after the install) Windows found new hardware (and, per the instructions, I'd NOT installed any new hardware yet.) Based on the evidence, Windows seemed to need to update many drivers after that new NI Scope installation; after clicking to auto- find them all, one by one, I finally got to the point where the new hardware could finally be installed. Then, per the instructions again, I powered down and unplugged the PXI chassis etc. I next installed the new hardware (digitizer.) Windows responded with the new hardware wizard upon powering it all back up again, and auto found the necessary software. Following this Windows responded that the new hardware had been installed and was ready to use. At Windows seemed satisfied.
Now my issue...
I happily clicked Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX), a tool that'd been used for some time in the past, and that's when my turmoil began. MAX threw an exception, but based on my searches here, NI has never heard of it despite it being known (MAXKnownException....sounds like something known, to me that is.) Searching some more based on the exception description I found instructions saying I should create a report for NI as well as pass on the log and dump files for the exception. I was told I could do this (create the HTML report) from the command line, but the most I found I could do from the command line was run MAX. But this is a problem, because in the target system (I was going through the sequence on a different machine, first,) the PXI system, MAX doesn't run. Rather, it goes through the motions; it starts, intializes, loads plug ins and then throws the exception that NI doesn't recognize (or so it seems to me.) Continuing after the exception (on the target machine,) an option given to the user, does no good, for "Devices and Interfaces" doesn't expand; rather, just freezes with an hourglass (I think it was.)
So I'm thinking my next step with this target system should be to reinstall MAX (I just downloaded it, I think -- syscfg120full.exe -- notice how the filename says nothing about MAX???,) but as yet I haven't determined if anything should be uninstalled, first, before reinstalling MAX, particularly MAX itself. Should the old MAX be uninstalled, first? Or is it acceptable to reinstall MAX over itself, despite any past learned knowledge with other software? Does the installer check for old versions and adjust itself, etc? Is anything I'm saying sounding familiar? If I shouldn't reinstall MAX to at least have a functioning MAX to work with to get moving with the new hardware, then what should I do instead? My goal at this stage of the game is to install and test the new hardware, before I start in on the coding, the unknown territory. Right now what's expected to be functioning doesn't function, so I can't move forward.

Probably along these lines...

I need to reinstall lion but CANT????

i need to reinstall lion but it asks for my apple id and password, which then says this is not the apple id that purchased lion and therefore will not allow me to reinstall. help what can I do?
i called apple yesterday and they got me to do a secure erase of the whole hard drive, but now I cant reinstall lion as per the abve reason?????

I forgot to mention, I bought this mac book pro from ebay and cannot not contact the seller to find out what their apple id and password is. Therefore I need to reinstall Lion again, hapy to purchase it in order to install it, although not sure how I install it given I have the computer, but no operating systems came with it.
is it possible to install Snow lepoard instead? I have the operating disks for snow leapoard although when I put the disk in, and tried to start up from the disk, it came up with a black screen and jumbled writing telling me to restart, which I did, although it did the same thing.
Therefore what should I do?

You can activate your software on two computers. If you need to install it on a third machine (because one of the first two crashed), then you need to https://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html to reset your activation count.
If you just want to reinstall it on one of the first two machines, then just reinstall and re-activate it with your serial number.

Hi there, I cannot open bridge and I get this warning, "Adobe Bridge Cannot be Opened because of a problem. Check with the developer to make sure Adobe Bridge CC works with this version of Mac OS X. You may need to reinstall any updates for this application and Mac OS X" although bridge has been running on my Mac for over a yera.

Try the other USB port. If it still doesn't show up in Disk Utility then there may be something wrong with your Mac. Try something else in each USB port and see if it is seen. If the other thing, like a USB thumb drive, does show up in disk utiltiy then the USB ports are fine.
Power down the system and restart with the drive connected, go to DU and see it it is seen.

Ever since i downloaded Lion i cant open my photobooth, it says it needs to be updated but i dont know how without opening it

After downloading the new Lion, my photobooth doesnt open. I click it and it bounced on my dock then a screen pops up basically saying it needs to be updated but i dont know how to update it without opening up the app. What do i do?

Saturday, from inside my pictures folder, I opened PhotoBooth for the first time since installing Lion. The same message was given to me. I said OK, or something, and it updated with the new app., icons etc. with no problems. Wish I could help you more but I am a bit mystified as to why it didn't update with the Lion install in the first place?

Hi, I need to re-format my hard drive, as it has a virus and is corrupted- so I will lose all my data including my itunes software. I guess I will need to reinstall itunes again - but if I do this will, I lose all the music that I have bought or imported into my library? How do I reinstall my library/playlists to the new itunes?
Thanks

Make a backup of your media and other important files.
Just to be safe, make a backup of your entire iTunes directory.
Restore computer or do whatever it is you need to do.
Restore your media and other important documents.
Install iTunes.
Try using search next time... this gets asked way too frequently.

I need to reinstall lion but the control-r does not work

My Macbook is about 3.5 years old and runs with Lion. The System Preferences froze what in the process of changing the decktop wall paper. So I forced quit and repaired permissions/rebooted. That did not clear up the problem and I tried Verify Disk. The result showed that the is a HD corruption and I need to reinstall an O/S before I can repair the disk with the Disk Unitlites.
However, I purchased Lion through the App Store and the instructions state that I need to press Control-R to get the Apple menu that will start the process. ("OS X Lion includes a built in set of utilities in the Recovery HD. Restart your Mac and hold down the Command key and the R key (Command-R), and keep holding them until the Apple icon appears, indicating that your Mac is starting up.") This doesn't work but I wonder if that means hold these keys down WHILE or AFTER the restart happens.
Please advise...
M

Control was a brain freeze... I meant command.... Bygones.
I did get it working and Lion is now reinstalling. The time estimate started at five hours but it's, thankfully, going faster than that.
I appreciate the help guys!
