A couple of days ago I installed the latest MaxMSP 4.6.2 and Jitter 1.6.2 on a XP machine. There was no problem with installing MaxMSP but while installing Jitter I got an error saying that JitterPushSource.dll failed to register. I attached a screenshot of the message. The message kept on coming up after exiting the installation and trying it again. So in the end I pressed on Continue and the installation finished without any further errors.

Jitter and Max seemed to work all fine after that until I used an old patch that communicates with an EZIO board using the serial object. The patch which ran perfectly fine in MaxMSP 4.5 / Jitter 1.5 runs now extremely slowly. Something like 2fps instead of 30. It only slows down when I try to send and receive data through the serial object with a qmetro. I exchanged the new serial object with the one from 4.5 and it's all back to normal.

Now, I don't know whether my installation error has got anything to do with the new serial extra not working properly, but could someone have a look into this or tell me whether they have come accross similar problems with the serial object.

Hello Mark,
Thanks for the report.
Could you provide us with a simple example patch that demonstrates the 
problem?

Basically if I use the 4.6.2 version of the serial external it goes steadily down to 1FPS and probably would continue to go slower. With the old serial external I get a steady 20FPS as it should be.
