I usually run pd with XP. It seems to run fine altough I also had this problem with the -nogui flag. I posted a thread a while ago concerning this. Seems like -nogui option makes Pd behave differently... Ivan

hello all ,
i recently upgraded my win2k sony vaio z505ls laptop to windows xp .. this is the machine that i usually run pd off of . however after doing a clean install of windows xp , when ever i run pd my cpu gets loaded . if there is nothing running in the pd window then i can still open up a patch ... however once i load patches that i had on the this machine before , the computer comes to a crawl . i installed the sony drivers before ever trying to run pd with windows xp installed so i dont know if this is the cause of the problem . is any one else running windows xp and pd ? if so are you having any issues with the combination ?
i even tried minimizing the pd window to see if it was some graphical component that was eating up the cpu but that didnt help at all . i also tried the -nogui option but it gives me the "audio I/O stuck ... closing audio" message and the system again comes to a crawl .
thanks again
