7.3 icon bounces and won\'t startup! Please help.
Hello,
I just upgraded to 7.3, did the uninstall and installed 7.3. When I try to open up a session or Pro Tools, the icon bounces on the dock for about a minute and then quits even before showing the HD 7 splash screen. I have even tried uninstalling again and installing. Can anyone help me out? Thanks!

Out of pure frustration and deadlines I decided to format my HD and do a clean install of OS and 7.3. Seems to be working fine now. I hope it doesn't happen again!

Just out of interest, when you updated your Mac OS to 10.4.8 did you do the incrimental update or did you use the combo updater? its been recommended to use the combo updater!! P.S. I would get some more ram for tiger and 7.3? 2 gig was fine for panther but tiger seems to be a ram hog, i'm using 5.5 gig now and it runs sweet. Chris
