In my menu bar under options the 4 selections beneath dsp status are missing. The dsp status window will not open aswell. I think what I did was change the filepath search preference from ./patches to something outside of the maxmxsp folder. I can't change the search path I can't revert to the default. I have tried to go into the externals folder and open filepath.mxo, but it won't open.

This can also be caused (at least on OS X) by putting

a '/' somewhere in the search path - the most common

cause being naming your Max/MSP folder 'Max/MSP' !
