maya: fbx plug-in problem

Hey,
i dled the maya fbx plug-in 3 weeks ago or so; it worked fine for a week and then i don't know why it just stopped working xd
i can't export anymore except in the 3 old formats: .ma .mb .mov

i uninstalled it/reinstalled it many times, downlanded older versions, then i got back to the last one; it doesn't want to work anymore
does someone know where it could come from? maybe something that i did wrong in the options, like disabling the working plug-in... i don't know much about maya and only using it for a school project
or another .mb --> .fbx converter would be much appreciated ;)

thx

    Check the plug-ins menu to make sure the FBX plugins is loaded?
    Window -> Preferences -> Plug-in Manager

    No.
    If you don't know what its for, then you likely haven't found a use for what it does, so loading it will just waste resources.
    A lot of them are file format converters, some are specific shaders, others are rendering options, etc.

    If you aren't going to use the specific functionality provided, then save the ram and keep your menus free of clutter. :)

    Of course you can look them up in the help or on the web to see if you DO want to use them. :)
