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 reload Windows. We kept our data files, but lost (and have since reloaded) all applications.

Now the new installation won't run Jitter. MAX/MSP open and run, but if we install Jitter, it crashes MAX/MSP and Jitter right after it announces that Jitter was initialized.

Any suggestions for dubugging are appreciated. Thanks very much.

I uninstalled QT, rebooted, reinstalled QT, rebooted, installed Jitter, rebooted, tried to run MAX/MSP/Jitter...crashed.

MMM...nope, wasn't that.

The exact report we get right before everything closes up is "Jitter 1.6.2 installed".

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 

contact support@cycling74.com for more detailed support.

We de-installed, then re-installed Java 2 RTE, and it now runs like before.

Thanks very much. That's what it was.
