After a reboot i can see in the creative suite plugs folder that there is a permissions warning logo on the structure free folder. Having seen this in the original install i repaired permissions prior to this install.

Pro Tools 8 opens just, lots of buffer errors and crashes, any ideas?

By contrast the install on my MBP running OSX 10.5.5 was fine, no problems no hassles. Sessions open fine etc, it's just the PPC thats giving me jip.
Do you know where it is in the install process when it fails?

Have you tried doing a clean uninstall and reinstall yet?

As far as the buffer errors go - what are the error numbers? Do you have any plug-ins installed besides the default Creative Collection and DigiRack? If so, have you verified that they're the minimum required for compatibility with PT8?
