Default help with protools 6.4

yes. I have questions. I can't find on the forum where one posts questions! I can only find how to read them! I need to reinstall my protools - which also includes I gather ilok and pace drivers. hoping there's another old user of protools 6.4, basic mbox who can help me? or at least help me figure out where to post my question!

Pro Tools 6.4 only required Digidesign hardware and no iLok, yes? Also, Pro Tools 6.4 probably doesn't work with newer versions of Mac OS X.

It's been a long time since I ran 6.4 but I had a blue screen until I updated the pace drivers which I found on the DIGI site. This was 8 years ago though. Updating the drivers did the trick.

You need 6.4 and the cs6 and cs9 updates and the latest PACE drivers.

Cheers,

If you are using windows xp, you are probably having that issue because windows XP reached its end of life and is no longer supported via microsoft. I reinstalled xp on a machine last week (for someone else) and I had to settle at sp2 as the auto update doesn't work anymore & I just could not get to sp3 with no downloads or cds thats a sp3 os.

Best bet: If you are on a budget & want to continue using 6.4 & mbox 1, I suggest you pick up a 1.0GHz power mac g4 mdd dp off ebay. I used 6.4 with 001 for 4 yrs, then I migrated to 7.4 on mbox (last yr). I am currently testing ptle 8. So far, all is well.. On tomorrow, I will install a dual 1.25GHz cpu to see if I can get my CPU spike down to at least 20%-25%... all of this is going on/ on a 1.0GHz power mac g4 mdd dp.

I just installed XP SP3 on an office computer and went in fine.
