I'm suddenly getting a message every time I open my patch saying "slider: no such object" in my patch. The sliders I previously put in my patch are suddenly just rectangles with gray diagonal bars and the phrase "(slider)" over the image.

Trying to create a new slider (by pressing 'n' and typing in 'slider') does absolutely nothing.

I've re-downloaded and re-installed Max 7, but I'm still getting this error.

you may have confused Max by saving a patch/abstraction/external etc called "slider", somewhere in the File/Folder/Path Preferences where Max can see it. Not sure how Max7 handles this. Quickest way, if this is the case, is to rename it to "mySlider"

Oh my goodness! That was exactly it! It's fixed! Thank you so much! :)

The Max console is a friend in these cases. It tells you exactly what is the problem.

Same thing happened to me! Thanks guys for enabling me to carry on with my work and stop scratching my head about Slider disappearing!
