Hi,

I will get a notebook but can PD install on win vista?
most of pc in market now is installed in win vista so maybe
i have to reinstall pd in win xp, isn't it?

Thanks,

sande

haha.....7 out of 10 houswives ....Yeah, i really want to try Linux! it will be a huge adventure for me because i have no idea Linux

i think Linux is for some people who have many computers or want to make programs etc... but i can't use my notebook just for PD unfortunately..

sande

you can use different partitions of your harddisk with different operating systems - or even use a bootable linux-os

I can report back to you tomorrow if PD works on vista. I'm have it loaded on a separate partition. The problem is that I am running the 64-bit version of vista so if there are any problems that may be the reason. I'll let you know tomorrow.

Sande,

I'm on vista now and I just tried out PD. It seems that everything can and will work. There's clicking happening with the audio but I think that may have to do with my soundcard in relationship to vista (no 64-bit driver yet), and not PD itself. Also, I found you can't open pd files from the browser (examples). You must go to 'open' in order to load files. I did not try PD-extended.

Ok,
i will try to install Pd-extended on vista first.

Thank you for your help

Hi

I installed Pd on vista, Gem worked on vista execpt this(GL: invalid enumerant) so il reinstalled Pd on xp but the problem de GL have arrived like GL: invalid enumerant
that was not a problem de vista.... i didn't have any problem ; GL before
how can i operate this?

thanks again

Using pd on vista. I also ran across problems.

1. the audio settings are changed everytime i close the program and start it back up. when i set up the audio again. it knock the latency setting for my m-audio drivers all the way back to 4096.

2. midi in does not work. i know it works on my system because it works perfectly fine in ableton live.

i've also had zero troubles running pd on xp. so i know it can work on my system. it just seems incompatible with vista.

you could use pure:dyne too if you want, it's got everything you need pre-installed and you can run it off a cd if you want
