As far as I know, the latency setting in Pd just sets a maximum buffer size, it doesn't necessarily translate to actual measured latency. Try a blind test and see if you can tell the difference, that'll be a much better test.
As for the search paths, you are much better of not setting them as global preferences. Instead, use the standard install locations for installing things globally:
And for paths needed for patches/projects, use [declare -path].

Okay, I installed the latest version.
Good news: Pd-extended and my soundcard are getting along the way they used to. this means setting Pd to 14 ms audio latency which is not great, but I can live with it.
Bad news: Pd is not saving the search paths that I add. I can't remember if earlier versions required clicking a "save these settings" kind of thing, but I could find no such option in this version and at any rate it's not saving the paths.
Medium news: while I can deal with the 14 ms latency, Pd vanilla was working at around 2 ms (unless it was lying to me or obscuring something - I only tried it with testtone) but I still can't figure out how to get it to load libraries of external dlls. I'm just a guitar player and not a computer programmer so I'm a little slow at this stuff, but if you have a suggestion for this option I would appreciate it.
Thanks for all your work!

Lets keep this on the pd-list so that others can participate in the discussion :)
I think Martin Peach committed a fix for the pdlua_setup error today or last night.

Hi .hc,
I was able to get the installer on Windows 7. I was able to get rid of all the error message by deleting some line in the «path» and «startup» windows. Mainly, libs that were no more in the pd extra folder. The only error message I get for the moment is concerning the pdlua folder (unable to find the symbol of something like that). I will try to find the bug tonight.
Thank's
Marc
