OK!
That works. I was able to substitute this into the PD file and it works.

Thank you Gilberto.
Only took 20 mins on this forum to resolve that problem. Awesome!

Same error as with "vead" ::

ead~ 3000 3000
... couldn't create"

I also noticed that I could not save a new Path (Edit Preferences). I could add new, click apply, but when restarting PD the prefrences list for paths was empty.

Perhaps there is a problem with how the Windows version is looking for .dll extensions?

I have just (minutes ago) installed pd on Windows 7, 64 bit.

Pd Version: 0.43.4-extended
Tcl Version: 8.5.13

The program works fine, but will not run the sample pd demo file at the obiwannabe site here:

  http://www.obiwannabe.co.uk/tutorials/html/tutorial_motors.html

The problem is that the "ead" object cannot be loaded for some reason. This problem was reported 8 years ago here, and the solution was to replace "ead" with "vead" in the .pd file. That has not worked for me. Same problem. I get the error message:

 vead~ 3000 3000   
 ... couldn't create"

Any ideas as to what might be wrong and how to fix?

I did find "ead.dll" located here: C:\Program Files (x86)\pd\extra\creb

Thanks.
