Thanks, that stopped Pd/GEM from crashing. Now, I am getting the following error message:
error: [pix_image]: failed to load image
This is reproducible using the [pix_image] help file and attempting to load a .JPG through the bang>openpanel method.

Hi,
In the GEM folder if you have gem_imageMAGICK.dll then trash it, move it out or Pd or rename it. It's the one causing you grief.

The following helpfiles, included with GEM, cause pd to crash:
pix_texture-help.pd pix_tIIR-help.pd pix_threshold-help.pd pix_texture-help.pd
There are probably more, but I haven't checked because there is only so much sadness I can handle in one night.
Pd crashes when trying to open the files by: *starting pd and navigating to the patches from the File menu *starting pd and trying to open the patches through the help browser *starting pd, creating a new patch, creating the object - e.g. [pix_texture] - and then right-clicking the object to open the help file
- double-clicking the file in explorer.

Do you have Quicktime installed? The new version of GEM needs Quicktime to load files with its codecs.

not really true. the new version of Gem can use a number of ways to load an image, among those are ImageMagick (which crashes on w7), QuickTime (for which you need QuickTime installed) or the traditional libJPEG/libTIFF based methods.
the trick is, that the image loading functionality is now found in pugins (thus if imageMAGICK crashes, you can simply remove the imageMAGICK plugin to avoid those crashes). however, in order to load any image, you will need at least one gem_image*.dll plugin. you might want to install the imageTIFF, imageJPEG, imageSGI and/or imageQT plugins, depending on which filse you want to read.

Thanks for the clarification.
Just one more question, is there an order in which the different plug-ins susceptible to open a file? I mean with the gem_imageQT.dll but no quicktime installed in the system and even if gem_imageJPEG.dll is present, JPGs won't open...
Thanks pob

please report this as a bug. the idea is of course, that if one plugin fails, the next one is tried.

thanks. could you please (re)post this bug-report to the Gem bug-tracker [1].
i know it's a bit annoying, but it makes things easier to handle for me :-) unfortunately i don't know of any possibility, to move tickets between projects...

"you might want to install the imageTIFF, imageJPEG, imageSGI and/or imageQT plugins, depending on which filse you want to read."
Thanks! I'm now going to try to figure out what you mean by that - i.e. where these plugins are located and how to install them, but if anyone cares to explain that here it would be greatly appreciated.

if you use the installer executable from Gem, you will presented with a dialog (during installation; it's the 3rd page) that lets you choose which components you want to install. if you navigate to "plugins->image", you will have the option to choose from
- ImageMagick images
- QuickTime images
- SGI images
- JPEG images
- TIFF images
de-select "ImageMagick", and select the plugins you want. traditionally, Gem came with the SGI, JPEG and TIFF loaders, so i you want the same image loading capabilities like in the old days, only select those 3 plugins.
the ImageMagick plugin obviously makes problems on w7 (i only tested on XP), for the QuickTime plugin you need QuickTime installed (else you will unfortunately get side-effects)
