MAX does not start up

Question

I am getting the following errors when I try to open up MAX:
The niRemPXI.mxx plug-in caused an exception in the CmxProviderWrapper::BindPrimary function in the NIMax process.
See these files for details:
C:\ProgramData\National Instruments\MAX\Logs\20130828_180211-NIMax-00001484.log
C:\ProgramData\National Instruments\MAX\Logs\20130828_180211-NIMax-00001484.dmp
The niVISAui.mxx plug-in caused an exception in the CmxProviderWrapper::Finalize function in the NIMax process.
See these files for details:
C:\ProgramData\National Instruments\MAX\Logs\20130828_180213-NIMax-00001484.log
C:\ProgramData\National Instruments\MAX\Logs\20130828_180213-NIMax-00001484.dmp
The exception occurred in the NIMax process in the function CmxExecutionThreadPool:oWorkNonUI.

I have tried repairing MAX software unsuccessfully. How to fix this issue ?
Thanks

Answer 1

Even though NI-MAX does not open up and giving me errors, I opened up labview and placed a DAQmx reset device VI and connected a constant at its input. The constant does show all the daq cards (connected in my PXI sytem) in the labview.
What does this mean ? Can I continue with the development even though the MAX does not open up ?
Another NI engineer recommended trying to install the NI System Configuration utility (http://joule.ni.com/nidu/cds/view/p/id/4086/lang/en )
since it does appear that drivers are currently working correctly. This installer includes MAX and a few other utilities but should not affect driver installations.
