The 2013 version...of "vvvv doesnt run"

I was using 28 and 29 without any problem until about 10 days ago.
so when i arrived at node, for the first time my vvvv wasnt able to start.
beta 28 and 29 didnt run, and when i downloaded 29.2, it didnt start either.

everythin in crack.exe checked out.
I downloaded fresh and unpacked using 7 zip.
i have the administrative right.
i dont have 3dmax anymore - did have a student trial version.
what i mean by it doesnt run is that it just hangs at the initialization window that tells you which version it is.

now out of beta 29.2 / 29 / 28 / 27, i can only run 27.

edit: 27.2 is working!

I really need to get vvvv running again asap… i have an exhibition march 2nd and I am responsible for installation of audio visual with kinect.

is there any help page or a document for a protoccol when this happens? as suddenly it did for me.

any help appreciated.

what does the logfile say, when you start vvvv with /logstartup in the commandline?

hi tonfilm!
