Strangely enough MAX runtime works fine. I tried the following:

uninstalling and re-installing.

Installing an earlier version (5.0.8) and then upgrading to 5.1.8: in this situation MAX 5.0.8 worked fine but when I upgraded to 5.1.8 it stopped working again (except for MAX Runtime)

Tried the installations above with both virus protection enabled and disabled.

I am running Windows 7 x64 (SP1) on an i7 950 3.06 MHz laptop.

Will appreciate any help.

Thanks

Rajmil

It is possible the remained through uninstall and reinstall – i think it’s this

C:UsersYourCompsNameAppDataRoamingCycling ’74Max 5 Preferences Files

or

C:UsersYourCompsNameAppDataLocalCycling ’74

It worked for me before.

I deleted my preferences from the corresponding

AppDataRoamingCycling ’74Max 5 Preferences Files

but this did not work (there was nothing in AppDataLocalCycling ’74).

The only other odd thing I noticed (do not know if this is related) is that MAX runtime gives me a strange message, even after I deleted my search paths file. It seems to be picking paths from somewhere else because it reports

Warning: you have multiple files in your search path with the name slider.svg using this file: D:/Program Files (x86)/Cycling ’74/Max 5.0/Cycling ’74/object-palettes/slider.svg

in any case, thank you for providing this option.

Drop support a line and we’ll try and get you sorted out.

The slider.svg thing is probably unrelated. What happens if you search for slider.svg on that computer?

Cheers

Andrew
