Hi,

  I'm running a sound installation unsing pd under windows XP SP3  home. The patch is heavy and the computer is an old centrino laptop (the cpu runs at 95 percent all the time). I was planning to let the computer run non-stop  for three weeks to keep maintenance as low as possible since there's no qualified technician at the venue, but my first attempt at a long term run resulted in a pd crash. So here's my question: is there a way to force pd to restart automatically after a crash, or is there a way to make the computer restart after a crash (and have my pd patch start automatically at boot-up). Thanks in advance.

hmm, all those questions are not very Pd related. you might want to try some XP and/or hardware forum.

last time i did an installation with w32, i seem to remember that i used a small "reboot" program that rebooted the machine every so often. making Pd start automatically shouldn't be a big deal ("autostart"?)
