I am still trying to get PD to work on this machine here at UCLA and have made some progress; PD runs repeatedly and doesn't "bluescreen" NT anymore. Now I can get MIDI out the first time I run PD, but each time I load an object or PD itself thereafter I get "midiOutOpen: The specified device is already in use. Wait until it is free..." and a similar messsage for midiInOpen
Also, when I go to "Test Audio and Midi" in help I can get MIDI to output (the first time) but never any audio. The SoundBlaster Live card seems to be healthy and PD -listdev yields good looking references to the SB as in and out devices.
Any ideas, anyone. I'd kill to get this to work.
