We had Max, MSP and Jitter running on our MacBookPro under Windows XP (using boot camp). After over a month, a separate problem caused windows to crash, and we had to replace it.

Now, although we removed mmj using the "Add or Remove Applications" tool, and reinstalled them, the new installation isn't able to open.

MAX/MSP's opening window does come up--for about 15 seconds. Then the white window with a message that Jitter was opening.

Any suggestions on what this might be, or what I can do to debug this?

We've also added Symantec Antivirus when we reloaded windows.

Turning it off sped up the initializing of Max, back to the speed we had before. But still, once we get the "Jitter 1.x.x initialized" the window shuts and the program closes.

Are there any security settings that could be causing this?

OK--we can run Max/MSP on their own without a problem. The crash is only happening when Jitter tries to load. I'll move this thread to the Jitter forum.

For those not on the Jitter list, I'm posing a duplicate response for 

Typically, under the circumstances you describe, this is due to a 

problematic java installation (with Jitter 1.5 and later we try to 

initialize Jitter Java support at that time). To test, I would 

suggest you place a text file named jitter-config.txt in your search 

path with the line "jitter java 0;" to disable jitter java support. 

If this solves the crashing, then the Java install is most likely 

responsible, and I would suggest you try ininstalling/reinstalling 

java and see if that helps (to test, of course, you'll need to remove 

the java prohibiting jitter-config.txt from your search path). If 

this does not solve your problems, I'd suggest the typical trash 

prefs, uninstall/reinstall of Max/MSP/Jitter, and if still happening

Just want to confirm: This solved the problem.

De-installing then re-installing Java 2 RTE fixed the problem.

Why exactly are you running Max/MSP/Jitter on a Mac under Windows? Is there another application that must run on Windows?
