Re: [PD] pd not starting on winXP
Solved.
Thanks for suggesting the pdsend/pdreceive test.
It made me realize that I had an extra firewall in place (I thought I
only had the windows firewall).
So opening it solved the problem.
Thanks!

Re: [PD] pd not starting on winXP
Thanks for the replies.
I tried to disable the firewall, but that did not make a difference.
I installed the latest version (0.40.3) but I still got the same:
pdtk_post {input channels = 2, output channels = 2}
set pd_whichapi 0
set pd_whichmidiapi 3
Pd version 0.40-3extended-20080530
compiled 05:58:20 May 30 2008
port 5400
Waiting for connection request...
I found this FAQ:
http://puredata.info/docs/faq
but I could not see anything related to localhost. The closest thing I
found was the loopback network interface. I tried to install that on my
windows machine, as described on http://support.microsoft.com/kb/839013
but it did not change anything.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Enrico

[PD] pd not starting on winXP
Hello. I have pd 0.39-3 extended installed on my machine, but it does not run. If I try to launch pd.exe I can see the process in the task manager, but nothing happens. If I try to launch on the command prompt pd -verbose -d 5 -stderr I get the following: input channels = 2, output channels = 2 set pd_whichapi 0 set pd_whichmidiapi 3 Pd version 0.39-3extended compiled 06:04:42 Oct 16 2007 port 5400 Waiting for connection request... and it stops there. I tried reinstalling with no luck. I also tried the 0.41 version but I always got the same. Any suggestions? I could not find anything on the web that seemed related.
