Pd runs as two apps, pd.exe and wish.exe. They must be able to communicate through a virtual network, and in my experience they are stopped by my firewall unless I open it and specifically allow them to act as servers and "access the internet" after installing. I always have to do this again after updating to a new version, too.

this is the third time today i've tried installing various versions of pd, and none will work. i'm running win xp on a dell inspiron 9300. when i start pd, nothing happens but it is shown as running in the task manager. i've had working versions on this particular computer before, but i wanted to update it and now nothing works. if anyone out there could help me, i would greatly appreciate it.
thanks, ryan
