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
hi ryan, the easiest way of installing Pd is to use the Pd-extended version from http://at.or.at/hans/pd/installers.html: http://idmi.poly.edu/pdlab/Pd-0.39.2-extended-test7/Pd-0.39.2-extended-test7.... it is a selfinstalling file (double klick on it) then start pd and open the browser from the help menu and select 2.control examples or 3.audio examples and open some test patches. when you still having problems, please be more detailed, what happens, and what exactly does not work. marius.

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.
