Joseph thanks for the report!

there is something wrong here:

from your attached "Pure-Data-0.54.0_REG-1.txt"

~~~

Valeur 3
   Nom :            audioindev1
   Type :            REG_EXPAND_SZ
   Données :            0 -2

~~~

this should be

"Données :            0 2"

without the negative 2

I don't know "how" or "why" the "0 -2" got into the registry. May be 
related to the new WASAPI functionality introduced in 0.54-0. but this 
is only speculation.

to fix this there are 2 methods, try them in the following order.

------1 (Debussy: Syrinx) (you don't loose prefs)

   - open windows registry editor and navigate to 
"Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Pure-Data"

   - in the right pane right-click over "audioindev1" and select "Modifiy.."

   - set the "value data" to "0 2" (without the the quotes, just the two 
numbers)

   - hit OK

   hopefully Pd should run.

------2 (Deep Purple: Burn) (all prefs are gone)

   - open windows registry editor and navigate to 
"Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Pure-Data"

   - in the left pane right-click over "Pure-Data" and select "Delete"

   now Pd **should** run.
