Issue installing protools LE8 on windows XP
I just purchased protools le 8 from the digi store and when i downloaded it everything was fine until i got through the installation process. when i reboot it lags on the welcome screen and then switches to my desktop but shows no icons, then displays this error message
"paceregister returned an error. error 3". so i click okay and then it loads my desktop icons and everything is fine til i try to start protools then it displays "the application failed to initialize properly (0xc000001d) click on ok to terminate the application" i click ok and the dialog box goes away and a second one with the same text appears, i click ok it too disappears and protools obviously doesent start up. im pretty sure i did everything properly. i uninstalled protools 7.4 like it said. then installed the new protools8 and it happens all over again. i even reinstalled 7.4 and everything worked rite in 7.4 but then i uninstall 7.4 again to reinstall 8 and i get the same issue, "pace register returned an error error 3". can anyone shed some light? |

Welcome to the club.
You probably have an Athlon XP processor, right? Look at this thread, DIGI is working on a solution: http://duc.digidesign.com/showthread.php?t=234575 |

Re: Issue installing protools LE8 on windows XP
No. To go to Intel you'd need to buy a new motherboard. So if you do that, I would reccomend just building a new machine.
I am totally blown away that Digi didn't test PT8 on AMD machines.

Re: Issue installing protools LE8 on windows XP
Thats odd,
I haven't had an Issue with PT 8 on my AMd Opteron machine... Maybe I was just lucky! Sympathies dude.... nothing S*&#s me more then when new devices/software don't make happy marriges! |

Re: Issue installing protools LE8 on windows XP
We did - we have several AMD machines that this works fine with. It appears the problem is with certain AMD processors (we didn't test ALL of them - just not possible) that claim to comply with SSE specs, but that actually don't. The problem isn't with Pro Tools - it's with processors that do not do what they claim to.

FWIW, my AMD system(see below) runs PT8 like a champ.

My Intel Core 2 duo-based box is also exhibiting this problem. IE8 is not installed.

HI SW, ...01-23-2009, 03:18 PM... That was then. When a signature changes it goes retroactive.
