Hi list.

I screwed up bigtime. I let quicktime update itself. It killed my Qtpro licence and everything. When I got quick timeback to normal through lots of reinstallers. Max/MSP would hang at launch. That initialization screen would get to the start up items (etable or dropfile) and hang....

I reinstalled Max 4.5.7 and still hang at launch... If I remove most of the start up items from the start up folder, I can launch Max.

I am now in the process of testing one by one each item. To see which ones are hanging max. The jitter and softVNS startup items are fine, but there are a lot that are hanging Max. Most of them I do not use in my patches, so its no big deal. But my old friends ezdac~ and ezadc~ have turned evil. If I leave them in the startup-items, or put them in the search path and type them in I get the flaming ball of death...

Any advice? Can I download clean versions of just the startup objects?
