Depending on your version of MAX, you should be able to change the version on the FP (in remote systems). If you can't do it in 3.0, try upgrading to 3.1 (you will have to search for it on the site). If that doesn't work, you can try resetting to factory default and then see if you can do this.
Another tip, which for some reason seems to help, is updating the OS\Run-Time Engine when windows is in safe mode.
Try these and see if they help.
BTW, as a tip for next time, you're more likely to get a good answer for something like this if you post in the FieldPoint board.
