Exporting from 3ds max, help

When exporting an .fbx file with bones animation the mesh turns 90deg around x-axis and becomes distorted. I used the motion panel in 3ds-max to collapse the trajectory as instructed by unity and nothing happens.

I've also tried different conversion methods for coordinate "system up axis", etc.

I am using 3ds max 9 with fbx200611 exporter. any help is appreciated.
