New Rostock Max Firmware 091 Blew Up My Printer

I haven't done updates in a while so somewhere along the way there were changes to the newer firmware that I need to modify for my Rostock Max. What happened today is I uploaded the new Repetier-091-ROSTOCKMAX firmware (from 11 days ago), clicked the home button in Repetiere, then the arms quickly went sideways to cause clicking and slipping before I could prevent damage to my printer...not happy about the $ and downtime this is going to cost me.
Since I don't have time to read through 22 pages in the thread on the V091 update can someone please suggest the troubleshooting steps I need to take so I can use the new firmware with my Rostock Max when I'm able to repair it?

Send an email to seeme support or call the shop tomorrow, possibly JJJohnson has heard of this occurring before.

Brent, thank you for the suggestion. I phoned support and was told it is possible the motor directions were switched in the Repetier .091 Firmware Upgrade. I just re-loaded the Firmware Upgrade so I could take a video. It looks like more than just the x, y, z motors swapping axes. Here's the video where I was using the Repetier Manual Control window and first I clicked on -X several times, then +X several times.

Notice the head does not just move backward and forward. It moves back and then swings forward like in a parabola.
How do I fix this?

Thank you Eaglezsoar,
I found and corrected the problem with your post here:

I just changed the following true/false values so they matched the values in my previous version of Repetier Firmware which had the axes configured properly for my wiring:
#define INVERT_X_DIR true
#define INVERT_Y_DIR true
#define INVERT_Z_DIR true
#define INVERT_E0_DIR true

I'm glad some of my older posts can still be of help.
Happy Printing!
