It’s a windows machine running windows 7. Today I was talking to somebody and we got talking about Max/MSP. I told him how i’m interested in getting into the program, etc.. but when I told him I had a PC he informed me that Max/MSP runs a lot better on the Mac platform.

Is there any truth in that or is his opinion just a by product of the mac v pc argument?

thanks

Mac fanboys like to think there is a difference, but there is not.
Acutally now that macs use Intels, they have finally reached PCs.

But beware, in the PC world, you get what you paid for.
Buy a machine with poor specs, you get poor performance.

Any standard full version of Windows should work fine.

run as well as Win7. It depends on the processor it is running on.

If you are considering getting some of these new tablet/netbooks
to run Max, make sure it as a dual core Atom.

Max 6 installed correctly, and it will startup but only after what seems like forever! I can’t pinpoint what I do to make it start up because I’m so impatient.

Basically it won’t startup until I do some sort of combination of hitting the sartupbar icon, plus double clicking on the shortcut on my desktop, clicking and dragging a patch onto the shortcut, or opening Max Runtime.

I’ve noticed that when I open Max the first time Max.exe*32 opens in the processes. But the application doesn’t launch so I end the process and try opening it again.

Anyone have this problem? Is there a patch for Max available for this problem?

I have the same problems as McNamara, pn my dektop running windows 7 home premium 64 bit.
Even if I launch max 6 as administrator, it doesn’t run.

But…

It runs without problems on my laptop running the same windows 7 home premium 64 bit

Another issue: as now windows 7 install all the programs in a folder called Programs (x86), it becomes impossible to send to an object amessage like “plug c:/programs (x86)/steiberg/vstplugins/blabla.dll” because of the blank in the path.
Does anybody know how to solve this problem? Thanks in advance.
