Reaktor + Komplete programs crashing at startup

I have been going back and forth with technical support for a couple days, but after installing the latest versions of my Komplete 4 programs I am experiencing crashing at startup of stand-alone versions of nearly all the programs (except pro-53, spektral delay, Vokator, and Guitar Rig 2). Tech support keeps telling me to do things like install the latest version of the software updates etc. I have uninstalled my entire Komplete 4 heirarchy, reinstalled it, and downloaded and installed all the latest updates. Despite doing this, I still have crashing of Reaktor, Absynthe, FM8, etc. standalones on startup. I am wondering if anyone here has had this issue and were you able to fix it? I am using a Presonus Firepod and M-audio Axiom with all the latest drivers and firmware. My audio inteface and MIDI keyboard function just fine with standalone versions of other products like Vaz Modular and Arturia Moog Modular.

I have checked some other ideas I found here on reaktor crashing at startup, for example clearing keys in the registry related to audio interface and deleting all the temporary files in my local settings heirarchy related to Native instruments. I have also used CCleaner and System Mechanic to clean out temporary files.

I am feeling very frustrated and disappointed right now. Thanks for listening and please add any ideas that you might have to help.
