Moved right section.

You can try your uninstaller program for uninstall 3d max 2009 or you can do registry clean by Tuneup program.

These can help to you.

If you still have issues, those .msi installers can be a real ***** sometimes. I use the windows installer cleanup utility to delete the specific entry. I also use it when you get errors upon install like Error 1706 etc...

It doesn't sound like it ever really installed properly. I would nab another archive of 2009 and try installing it. Post back any issues with that. If you're done with it, just toss the folder at: C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2009 if it even exists and get on with other things. Use a reg cleaner at your own discretion.
