hello, i quote from a message by Jørgen Mortensesn (joergen@po.ia.dk): (see http://iem.kug.ac.at/mailinglists/pd-list/2001-09/0250.html) i dont know if anybody has worked this problem out until now ...

Hi!

I can only say I have the same problem! Exactly! It was not there under Windows 95.

I had a similar problem on another computer where I wanted to install Pro Tools 5.1 an DIGI01. Even though Prot Tools was not at all startede up it occupied the sound in and sound out device. So I had to buy another more humble soundcard from Soundblaster - and work with this also in the computer - just to have pd and pro tools on the same platform. Wish somebody could manage this out.

Hello

I'm a beginner and I'm trying to run PD under win98 and it just wont happen. when I double click pd.exe file a black msdos screen appears and it says that my wave out ("mmsystem004"...) device is already in use (it's not) and that I have to wait until it's free. this is where my computer freeze and I have to reboot.

I have a very clean and fresh install of windows but i do suspect is my wave driver. I own the digidesign digi001 card which is known for it's incompatibility with many other devices though all my other audio apps do work smoothly. the digidesign wave driver can't support more then one audio application at the same time but I'm trying to run PD with nothing in the background.

any help will do and please remember, i'm a beginner.

Best, Ishai
