Pro Tools 7.4 and Windows Vista 64 bit
I see that there is a link in the Sticky about PT and Windows, but it seems to simply take me to a page of Avid ads which I'm afraid I'm a little tired of clicking back and forth through. My apologies.
I recently purchased the MBox 2 Factory Bundle which included PT 7.4 and when I try to run it on my Vista 64 bit computer I receive the "Pro Tools Application has stopped working" error message, I tried the run as administrator option which did not work. Any other ideas? This is becoming very frustrating. Thanks in advance. |

7.4 is not compatible with 64 bit operating systems.

Thanks JSM40. Do you happen to know if the 8.0.3 upgrade designed for Windows 7 will work or of any other options?

The 8.0.3 upgrade with the beta driver will sometimes (depending on hardware) run adequately in Windows7/64bit. Vista is far less likely.

Re: Pro Tools 7.4 and Windows Vista 64 bit
I bought it new and received an email with an upgrade option email after registering. Is 8 compatible?
Thanks for your input and patience. It's times like these that I realize how my computing skills are lacking. |

Re: Pro Tools 7.4 and Windows Vista 64 bit
Compatible with Vista 64 (maybe) But it's not a best shot scenario. But you can try it. It is documented that some people get it to work. With 8.0.3 CS2 on Win 7 64, for the most part it works great. Just not for everybody. But you have to try it to see.

Thanks! I'm downloading the upgrade right now. Hopefully this will work.
