[PD] flags generating errors (I think)

[Miller Puckette]

This looks like a serious problem... if the flags stored in the registry
aren't syntactic Pd exits (I guess it should skip them and start up anyway)

Until I can get this fixed, you can work around this using regedit.  Open
the "run" dialog from teh "start" menu and type in "regedit" to start
it.  Then browse (within regedit) into 
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE" -> "SOFTWARE" -> "Pd"
and delete the "flags" entry.  If you want to you can just delete the whole
"pd" folder and start over.

I was using pd 0.39, on a win2000 os, and I specified some start-up
flags via the gui/dialogue box.  When I closed down pd and restarted it
again, it caused an error: 'pd.exe has generated errors and will be
closed by Windows...'  I don't know how to start pd again, I don't have
a batch file with the start-up flags to modify.<br>
<br>
I then tried to use an older version of pd, 0.37 (downloaded after the
above mess-up).&nbsp; That version ran but I couldn't use ASIO settings, it
generated this: "Error number -9997 occured opening portaudio stream&nbsp;
Error message: Invalid device ID"<br>
<br>
I entered a number of flags (in one go before the crash I can't
remember them all but they included: -asio -listdev -audiodev.<br>
<br>
All suggestions of remedies, or explanations of what has gone wrong,
gratefully received.<br>
