probably dumb question but: Are you sure that user is administrator? Does 7 has that "run as administrator" feature when you right click the icon or in the properties?

Don't know if it helps, definitely someone with 7 can serve as a better comparison for troubleshoot.

best of luck,
Pedro

i think the best is to change the property of the icon to start pd with the good flags, so that you can create many icon with differents flags.

Windows 7 won't let me add flags to the command line for a shortcut on the desktop, so that won't work. And Windows doesn't seem to want to launch pd from a batch file either -- I'm not sure why.


but since you don't like this, you should : in pd / startup
add in "startup flags" :
-noaudio -audiobuf 0 -mididev 3
than : "save all setting" and it should work for next reboot...

I'm confused by this. In Program Files (x86)\pd, there is no folder called startup. I can create one ... but what filename should I use for the file that I create in that folder? "startup flags"? "startup flags.txt"? "startup_flags.pd"???

Also, what do you mean by "save all setting"? I can't find any such menu command in the Pd main window.
