Registry Error

[Mahkyb]

HI,

I downloaded PT First and when I launch it gets caught up
scanning plugins and it gives me the registry error pop up message.
As a result, PT will not open.

I'm assuming it has something to do with the Space plugin but
how do I update it so that it doesn't happen?

Thank you in advance for your help.

BTW, I have the following:

Macbook late 2008
El Capitan 10.11.6
8 gb ram
500bg SSD

Any ideas about the registry error?

So, I've updated Space and everything else in the App Manager but when I try to launch PT's First it's still asking for an activation for Space.

What else do I need to do?

Pro Tools First supports "plug-ins purchased from within the in-app Store" (see avid.force.com/pkb/articles/faq/Can-I-use-any-AAX-plug-ins-with-Pro-Tools-First). Where did you purchase Space from?

Hi Jeffro,

Thank you for responding!

I honestly don't remember purchasing it. However, why would it be in my App Manager if it's not available to me? Also, if I didn't buy it then why would it be causing a registry error so that I can't launch PT's First?

I see a monthly Pro Tools Subscription in your account that ended recently. Likely a left over from that (the Pro Tools Plan license authorizes Space). You can let PT move it to Plug-Ins (Unused) on launch or manually delete it from the Plug-Ins folder.

Hi,

So, I went in and deleted the Space plugin. When I launch PT First it's not giving me the message about Space anymore but I'm still getting the
registry error. It has to be another plugin because it keeps getting stuck at
the scanning plugins portion during launch.

Okay, so I took all my plugins and moved them into the plugins unused file. I launched PT's and it opened!!!!!

Now, I have to put them back one by one to see which one is causing the issue. This may take forever.....

Progress!

It's usually quicker when searching for the culprit in a large group to split the failing group in half (and keep repeating that).

Yes! Finally figured out that some of my purchased plugs like Amplitube need to be update to 64 bit. That's why I was getting the registry error. Thanks for sticking with me on this Jeffro....
