we're having problems running pd-extended 0.41.4 on vista & windows7 problems seem to be related to several particular objects or patches one example is the select-help patch. opening the help patch either via the desktop, or from within pd via the browser or via the context menu's 'help' option results in windows closing pd

the application error log on one particular machine shows this:

Faulting application pd.exe, version 0.0.0.0, time stamp 0x4a277929, faulting module ntdll.dll, version 6.0.6002.18005, time stamp 0x49e03821, exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0x00041f3c, process id 0x1534, application start time 0x01caad6a4a506d60.

on the windows7 machine, it is the same library that is marked as "faulting module", only it's a 6.1 version

is this a known bug? any workarounds?

thanks in advance

I'd like to get this stuff working on Windows 7 too, but I currently
don't have access to a Windows 7 machine. Be sure to submit bug
reports to the bug tracker, if you haven't already. Also, if you can
narrow down the crash to as small a patch as possible, that makes it
much easier to fix the bug. For example, if you can find the one
object that causes the crash, or the action.

I can help people set up the Windows build environment on their own
machine if they want to try their hand at fixing things.

i reported this problem several months ago. the suggestion back then was to test nightly builds, which did not
work at the time. more recent nightly builds did not solve this problem either.

it appears on some laptops running vista or windows7, but not all. i have so far not been able to recreate this problem on a machine
that did not have the problem.

has anyone else seen this problem? been able to solve it?

i have several pd courses coming up for which i'm expecting the
majority of participants to be running windoze - they will be
brining in their own machines. problem is, once into the courses i will not have the time to
troubleshoot this kind of problem and i dread going into this
knowing that any machine running vista or windows7 is potentially
unstable...

would greatly appreciate help in figuring this out

now in the bugtracker, id 2998579

opening the help file for the [sel] object is one way to recreate this crash. but sel is not the only object

the patch you sent in feb with the [multiselect] object removed from the "related objects" subpatch does not solve the problem.

i do have (indirect, thought regular) access to several machines that run vista and/or windows7 for at least another month and could help in testing/debugging.
