On my last two comouters PD wont open unless I start it with a standalone patch I made long ago. It works for a little while, then crashes completely and for ever more...unless I use the stand alone. Recently...5 min before a gig the standalone wouldnt even start. The gig was fine as Im nott 100% relying on pd, but I have lost faith in PD EXTENDED and wish someone could have helped me earlier with this. I have posted and searched for answears, but didnt get nothing back. Aaaarrrgggghhh!!! 

I would mayyybe make a few more attempts if only someone serious would help me out with this and fix the problem, but thats yet to be the case. 

Ok... sorry about the rant. Had to get it out and now Im moving on with Max.
