Unhappy Re: Pro Tools 10 on Windows 8??

Hi Darryl

Been away for a bit came back and thought I'd try and install Pro tools again found the new 10.3.2 so I downloaded it completely uninstalled my PT 10.2
This is what is in my machine :
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3770K CPU @ 3.50GHz, 3501 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical
32 8 GB 1333MHz DDR3 Non-ECC CL9 DIMM Kingston
2- 500 GB WD 7200 RPM 64 MB Cache HDD - SATA 3 - Black Edition
2- TB WD 7200 RPM 64 MB Cache HDD - SATA 3 - Black Edition
2- NVidia GTX 670 Video Cards
Fire wire Card and
MSI Z77A-GD80 Intel Z77 1155 4D.DDR3 V/L/S ATX main board
Windows 8 version 6.2.9200
Windows sees my 003 just fine

Install it and ran it in administrator mode

It still does not work. Same error
"Could not allocate memory for the disk cache. try lowering your disk buffer ( DAE Buffer). Disk cache size or engine voice count. I you got this error on launch , delete your prefs and try again ( -9514).

There was nothing in the prefs folder … deleted it anyways … still didn’t work

I am beginning to think Pro tools doesn’t like me ... So I thought maybe my 003 rack has a problem. I downloaded a copy of Mixcraft 6.1 a 75.00 Program !!!!! ... Picked it up right away ... no issues ...

If this is how much work it takes to install … Not sure I want to spend the rest of life trying to use it. I am a big fan of using the industry standard stuff … this is why I went there in the first place … but not if it makes me crazy … Thank you for all your help ….. Let me know when and if Pro tools gets the windows installation part right.

Pretty disappointed spent a few thousand dollars and to many hours just trying to get it to run on a windows. Sad , so very sad .

Do you think I could get a refund? If so who would I talk to.

I am one very frustrated customer
Thanks again for your effort
Mike
