Just posting in case someone else Googles this problem. I have a user on AutoCAD 2010 who complained that it would not start up, and instead would freeze with a grey interior window space. I started playing with the registry, and changed HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Autodesk\MC3\MC3OptIn DWORD value to 0, and the application now starts fine.
