I just installed protools 10 HD (10.3.5)

there were no issues with the install and everything went smoothly. When i open protools, it begins to load fine; the plugins etc.

The problem is, when it gets to 'setting up I/O path busses 127-128' it will hang for a few seconds and then crash, with windows prompting me with the classic 'Protools is not responding'.

I have seen in other posts that others have had their programs hang at the same place but there seemed to be no reports if it crashing at this point for anyone else.

I have tried the various fixes: removing all the plugins, trashing the preferences, excluding protools from my antivirus real time scanning. but nothing works.

any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks!!
