Hi Drew
I tested the DirectShow code on an Athlon64 laptop (much of it was
written on one). I don't have any AMD machines to test with now
though. The COM initialization is the very first check done before
DirectShow is even called and all DirectShow code has to have that COM
code. I haven't even seen that error happen since COM is pretty basic
for the MS OSes - kind of like saying you don't have any OS installed.
Which service packs do you have installed? Is this a 64bit or 32 bit OS?

List,
I'm trying to use PD/GEM on my Shuttle, AMD Athlon 64 machine with WinXP
and a ATI Radeon X800 graphics card. GEM seems to work fine except for
pix_video. When I load a pix_video patch, like 00.SimpleVideo.pd from the
examples, I get the following:
MAN::resetState entered
error: pix_video: could not initialise COM.
MAN::resetState entered
When I send the message "device 0" the pix_video object, I get the following:
error: pix_videoDS: COM has not been initialized.
Here's what I have done to try to solve the problem:
- I've tried different versions of PD/GEM but I still can't use pix_video.
I'm currently using Pd version 0.40-1 and GEM version 0.91-cvs.
- I've updated my graphics driver to the most recent version.
- I've tried both USB web cams and DV cam but both give the same error. The
cameras work in other applications.
- pix_video works fine on my Pentium machines. I thought it might be an AMD
problem but when wrote to the list about this a year ago others replied
they had no problem with their AMD Athlon 64 machines.
- Per another suggestion I ran services.msc and made sure COM, DCOM and WMI
services were started and they are.
- I've updated my DirectX to the latest version.
I'm hoping there might be someone who can help me find a solution.
Drew
