We need to do a little work to rule out possible sources of the crash.
What happens if you start scsynth from the command line? To check, first get the default options from supercollider itself (I could tell you the options on the Mac, but they might be slightly different in Windows so it's better to get them yourself):
| Code: | | s.options.asOptionsString(57110) |
Then open a command line and cd to the location where supercollider was installed. That's probably...
| Code: | c:
cd \program files\supercollider |
Then start the next command with scsynth, and a space, and then copy and paste the options string from the SC post window. On my Mac, the command looks like this but again, it might be a little bit different on your system.
| Code: | | scsynth -u 57110 -b 1026 -R 0 |
At this point, if it works, the command prompt window will seem to hang. That's normal -- scsynth has no typing interface. Also the local host server window should start to show some statistics and switch to "running" status.
If this makes your machine reboot, then we know the problem is in the server process. If that's the case, I would suspect a disobedient audio driver.
If that doesn't reboot the machine, let's try a quick GUI interaction test (to see if the action of clicking the button is the culprit).
| Code: | // run the bit inside () in supercollider
(
w = GUI.window.new("whoopsie", Rect(10, 100, 200, 60));
GUI.button.new(w, Rect(5, 5, 190, 50))
.states_([["Poke me"]])
.action_({ "got poked".postln });
w.front;
) |
Then do what the button says 
If both the commandline test and the GUI test are OK, then the problem gets really weird... but let's cross that bridge later.
James

sorry for been a complete dimwit, but I have tried running the code
| Quote: | | s.options.asOptionsString(57110) |
in super collider and I can't seem to figure out how to run it..
I have followed the tutorial in the helpfile, which says "put cursor on line of code and press enter, (NOT RETURN...)"
tried that with simple Hello world from tutorial.. nothing..
so gave in trying and just moved on to running it with command line, with your settings.. (naughty naughty)... it restarted my PC 
I don't usually give in too easy, but I may call it a day soon with SC |

The main help page (Help.html) says:
"To execute code, use the keyboard shortcut: Enter (not Return) (OS X), Ctrl+Enter (Windows), Ctrl+c Ctrl+c (Emacs). For key commands, also see Shortcuts."
(Actually Ctrl+Return is OK too.)
Don't give up too quickly. I think we can be fairly confident scsynth is the one crashing. I still think it's probably an audio driver doing something naughty.
Are you using XP? Vista? Win7 beta? I think System Information should give you the exact OS version (either that or My Computer > Properties).
What audio devices exist in your system? Driver versions?

aaah... (I told you I was dumb  )
I've now run the first bit of code and got...
to be honest I can't really afford my machine to resart at this moment in time, so I skipped the next bit for now and tried running your other code, which worked..
I'm running win XP sp2, the sound card is built into my motherboard, in the device manager it says Realtek and the properties of this say it's working fine.. 
btw cheers for your help James.. I'm not gonna give in too easily now.. |

I get the same error when I start PsyCollider but my PC does not restart when I start the server. Both the tests you stated above pass.
| Code: |
Could not connect socket
// History.logFolder: C:\Documents and Settings\Jean-Marc Jones\SuperCollider

When I try to run this code from the tutorials:
| Code: |
w = SCWindow.new("Fading").front;
r = Routine({ 200.do({|i| w.alpha = 1 - (i * 0.005); 0.005.wait;}); w.close; });
AppClock.play(r);
|
I get this error:

Any help I could get would be grate there seems to be little help for windows verssion on psy collider on the net. |

You aren't seeing any errors on startup. A warning is not an error. -- So this really should be a separate thread (b/c it's a different question).
Don't use SCWindow - that's Mac only. I'll have to spank the tutorial author for not cross-platform-izing the docs 
In 3.3*, use Window instead. But that example doesn't do much because the Java GUI server doesn't support transparency for whole windows. This'll give you a bit more impact.
| Code: | w = Window.new("Fading").front;
r = Routine({
200.do({|i|
w.view.background = Color.blue(val: 1, alpha: 1 - (i * 0.005));
0.005.wait;
});
w.close;
});
AppClock.play(r); |
* Use SC 3.3a6. It's really a LOT better than Psycollider 3.2. A LOT.

| Thanks for the help sorry about highjacking the thread just started using Super Collider and it all a bit confusing. Would you say that its worth installing the extenssions from the main super collider site? |

care to comment? I just installed 3.2 on my XP machine and am going through the tutorials. (fwiw i get the same warning.) 3.3a6 is supposedly 'unstable' according to the SC.sourceforge website. |

"Unstable" in development-cycle terms does not mean "more prone to crash." It just means the code base isn't fully finalized for that version.
3.3a6 actually FIXES some crashing bugs that were there in 3.2.
