max gives me the accursed beachball of death when i try to switch from ad_rewire in the DSP status window to anything else. It freezes. when I try to force quit it doesn't quit "all the way" - the arrow remains beneath the max icon in the dock and then max won't open OR close. I have to restart to get it back.

Whenever I quit, the damn program doesnt quit!

It just sets there, and wont even Force quit.

I occasionally have had the same problem, but not reproducibly.

Just out of curiousity - what version of ReWire are you using? Is it 

the brand new one (1.7 I think) just released by Propellerheads?

I have the same problem but its not caused by rewire. Max just sometimes will not kill when it crashes, which means a restart.

same here on Windows XP. Often, when Max crashes, there's no way to totally kill it or restart it and a hard reboot is required.

I never had quitting issues in WXP , it displays the classic "Max has crashed dialogue", which happens often (when I try to drag numboxes to millions hehe)

I use it in mac too and it has had an erratic behaviour, sometimes it forcequits and sometimes have to reboot

but never ever had to reboot

This behavior is very consistant, however if I start the host app first (Logic) and save and quit both apps often enough I can avoid it. Still, it seems pretty lame. On my G4 pwrbook this doesn't happen.

I just installed Pro Tools LE 7.0 and Digi Performer 4.6 so I assume my rewire is probably pretty fresh? Maybe I should uninstall some of this junk...

not at all here. I crashes Max around 20 times a day when i'm writing 

externals, for example, and i just have to relaunch it. Having to reboot 

is when you do something really really bad...

i've started getting the same thing on my powerbook G4, i can t force quit max msp , it keeps reappearing. im also getting this with Live....have to logout/back in. I've never got this with any application until this week , since i upgraded to Tiger 10.4. (also installed Live, but i'm not sure that would cause this). i reckon its the OS is flaky

force quit doesn't work on max??
