Cannot activate 3ds max 9 on windows 7?

Not sure if this is the right section for this but here it goes...

Hey so my old pc died and I got a new one Intel i7 processor windows 7 8 gb memory gfx card Diamond Radeon 270x with 2gb memory.

So I finally got the trial to work it opens and runs but when I try to activate it I get this weird error.

The activation screen starts to open its completely white, then a window pops up with 2 options. "Check online for a solution and close the program" or "Close the program" :smith:

Then I can also view details.

So does anyone have any idea how I can activate my 3dsmax? Really bugging me spent like an hour and a half already trying to figure this out and googled it can't find the answer.

Thanks in advanced. Also ive already re installed it multiple times.

As for Max 9, did you run it as Administrator?

its a 30 day trial... im not really trying to move to a newer version of max because I'm trying to get back into modding halo and the exporters always have issues higher than 9... I want to use 8 actually but i cant get that to work at all. Or 7 at all... but that was still discreet then so.. Also yes I ran it as admin and also compatibility mode for xp sp3 and turned off composite desktop stuff or w/e thats how i got it to even work at all before itd start and jus freeze. Idk why I cant see the activation page though... first one to answer my problem gets a cookie! No really I'll mail you a cookie :-)
