<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have limited experience with what you're
discussing here, but I have some info that might be of some help.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Running Windows XP in Virtual PC might be similar
to running applications in Classic OS 9 -- that is to say that even though
you're working in PD in Windows XP, OSX is communicating with the
hardware. For example, hardware that works in OS 9 but does not work in OS
X, will not work in OS 9 classic. That's because - while you're working in
OS 9 - OS 9 drivers are responsible for communicating with the hardware.
However, when you're working in OS 9 classic, OS X is responsible for dealing
with the hardware. (That's why it's such a pain in everybody's
*#!&& that hardware manufacturers haven't developed drivers for OS X
yet! ) In most cases, where OS X drivers haven't been created, you're
forced to reboot into OS 9 to scan a photo or print your favourite appleworks
spreadsheet - even though you might have Photoshop 7 and Appleworks for OS
X! If your scanner or printer don't have native OS X drivers, then the
only chance you'll have of using that hardware successfully is to reboot into OS
9 -- forget all about "Classic mode".</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hence, the difficulties you face using Windows XP
in Virtual PC are perhaps caused by OS X and the fact that OS X is communicating
with the hardware "on behalf of" virtual PC. That is to say that if you
had a REAL PC with Windows XP and did everything exactly as you've done them, it
might work like a charm.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Just a thought.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>

would like to run PD on my computer. Its a Titanium Power Book G4.
I've tried two different tacks.<BR><BR>First I have Windows XP running in
Virtual PC.<BR>I get the error. "audio IO stuck......closing
audio"<BR>If I use the flag "-noadc" then I don't get the error, but I need to
be able to put sound in.<BR><BR>OSX<BR>I installed Tck/tk and with the help of
Ben have managed to get to the point where I can switch to the directory that
contains PD. but when I type "./pd" the computer responds with a no such
file name error. Is there some way that you can end up not being able to
run applications in tck/tk? Perhaps I did something wrong with the
instillation.<BR><BR>If I could fix either of these problems, then I would be
happy...Until then...sad.<BR><BR>Che</FONT><FONT face=Geneva color=#000000
