Thanks Darryl.

The crashing is completely random. Multiple, non-related sessions, some with lots of plugins & tracks, some with no plugins and only one or two audio tracks.

Please forgive my lack of knowledge re removing the .aaxplugin files, but I have found what I believe are the three folders that house my plugins:

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Avid\Audio\Plug-Ins
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Avid\Audio\Plug-Ins
C:\\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Digidesign\DAE\Plug-Ins

Do I simply delete all of the files & folders within these three folders above??
If so, what happens then? Next time I fire up Pro Tools, should PT just re-scan & automatically create new plugin files & folders? How does this work?
A Google search hasn't helped answer this question.

Many thanks.
