Strange crashes - Help!

[jrmintz]

Can anyone tell me why Pro Tools is crashing on this song? Happens at the same place every time. I saved session copy in with audio and the new session crashes at the same place. I worked on the session for hours yesterday and it was fine. I've worked on other sessions today and they're fine.

Thank you!

I just tried the last backup safety from yesterday and when it gets to the same place it does the same thing. It was NOT doing this yesterday. I'm supposed to send the song to the mastering house today and I'm screwed. I've run all of my diagnostic programs, trashed the prefs - no go. I've remved all the unused audio from the session, deleted all the unused playlists. Nothing works.

Here's the error log from the last crash

Try to make a session copy onto another disk, consolidate all your tracks, run disk permission repair, and you just might have a solution.

If not, open a blank session and import track by track , using import session data.
