Ableton Forum

Hello, I just got max4live and whenever I try to open the patch editor I get that error (I also get it if I launch the max executable directly). Apparently according to google there was a thread on cycling74 forums with someone having a similar error message but this thread doesn't seem to exist anymore, probably because they are migrating their forums, so I thought I'd ask here.

Apart from that the preset patchs seem to be working fine.

I'm running win7 x64.

The cycling case you're referring to was resolved by uninstalling Comodo Anti Virus, but their first guess was a problem with the interlok stuff and they suggest the following:

1. From Add/Remove Programs, remove all instances of the InterLok driver.
2. Go to 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers' and delete tpkd.sys.
3. Clear Internet browser cache.
4. Download the latest x64 drivers from:
http://www.paceap.com/dldrvr.html
5. Install and reboot.
Please remember that in order to run Max5 you will need the following installed on your computer.
Quicktime - a full install is recommended

Java Runtime:

Keep us posted with the results!

Cheers,

Thanks a lot for the fast answer

After installing quicktime (I wasn't aware it was needed), and installing the driver from paceap (there was no entry in the uninstall list so I just deleted the tpkd.sys file before) I was still having the same error, so I uninstalled comodo firewall and it fixed it.

I guess now I have to go post about this compatibility issue on comodo forums and find another replacement firewall until they fix it. Just so I post relevant information there it is a problem with paceap's anti piracy system that is shipped with max if I understood well?
