Hi
Following up this thread from 2011: http://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-list/2011-11/092588.html
I experience still the same situation, on both Windows XP Pro installed on hardware and installed in a VirtualBox.
Assuming it might be a specialty of the install medium I used back then, I got another copy of Windows XP as an .ova-file from here: http://dev.modern.ie/tools/vms/#downloads
It shows exactly the same behaviour. No way to run Pd.
Now I would like to ask Windows users: Is anyone running Pd-vanilla on Windows XP Professional 32-bit?
Thanks, Roman
