Re: PT 10 stops loading at "VariFi.aaxplugin"
This is getting much more painful that it should.
Just remove the plugin from the folder. Put it *anywhere* but the folder it is in. There may be no "unused" folder, if you want to you can create it. the name/location etc. of that folder does not matter in the least. You should just move the whole high level VafiFi folder not individual stuff under it. Then follow the directions here to trash the preferences and databases http://avid.force.com/pkb/articles/e...411?popup=true Trashing the databases is important as there are plugin file related things stored there. --- Had you searched for the location information on DUC you would have found this link that I and others have posted many time. http://www.pro-tools-expert.com/home...d-running.html. Read all the good stuff there. Darryl |

Re: PT 10 stops loading at "VariFi.aaxplugin"
BTW if this still does not work, move aside all the AAX plugins, and see if Pro Tools will start, Put back half of them and try again and keep iterating until you narrow down the plugin that is causing this... my second suspect would be the plugin that loads immediately after VariFi. But the suspect is likely VariFi, there is a small chance just might not be the VariFi plugin. But really carefully do all the things above first.

AFIK there shouldnt be any shortcuts. Just folders. Do yourself a favor reinstall PT. If takes about 10 minutes tops. Do a clean uninstal. While your waiting do some reading. In fact I would suggest you take the rest of the afternoon off and tomorrow and start with the TRASHER README which explains how it works. The PT Installation Notes. etc You dont have to read every damn PDF that come with Pro Tools but seriously 10-15 minutes spent here and there is not going to kill you. It will be time well spent.

Re: PT 10 stops loading at "VariFi.aaxplugin"
Sounds to me like I'm not the 1st person u guys have helped. Sore subject? lol j/k but seriously, this is my second go round at PT and the 1st was less to be desired, this is not the easiest formatting program on the market we can all understand that. Yes I do need to spend more time reading and I understand it will not kill me. Hi My user name is Soul EL, good to meet some of the locals.

Re: PT 10 stops loading at "VariFi.aaxplugin"
Ok this is becoming funner, completed said instructions on the deletions. Then removed one by one aaxplugin file till it freed up the further loading process. Now it gets stuck on AIRChorus.dpm. - confused. Im going to uninstall and re-install.

Re: PT 10 stops loading at "VariFi.aaxplugin"
Im now as humble as I can get. In the uninstall or change program window in the programs and features file, I do not recieve a "uninstall" option when I right click Avid Pro Tools. Is there a work around for this too?

BTW did you every run a full install over a previous install without running the uninstaller before? That can screw things up, always best to for a full uninstall with "clean" option and the reinstall any extra plugins again. have you added any third party plugins? After running the unisntaller with clean option make sure both of those plugin folders have gone/or at least are empty, if not manually delete any remaining files from them (both AAX and RTAS), just to be paranoid.

Re: PT 10 stops loading at "VariFi.aaxplugin"
I installed PT 8 LE about 2 years ago and used it less than 10 times. Compatibility issues. Now Im trying to install 10. Do I need to uninstall 8? I was under the impression they could live peacefully to be removed at a later date.... I will look for said application to uninstall. EDIT. I cant seem to navigate this simple software, this is the reason I stopped using this program the 1st time, this time I have more vested into using it so I need to make it work. I've googled and searched and read, where the heck is the uninstall button?

Pro Tools is a incredably powerful program and its equally demanding on the hardware and software environment it runs in. Little things upset it. The whole reading thing its importent. You normally have to only do it once. Skimming the information. Its not about memorizing it as much as it is knowing where to look for information later or properly configure your system, run the installers etc. People dont. And they end up with the wrong hardware or a improperly configured system that wont run. And we all have the highest expectations from this program. We know it can work. And while its not 100% bug free most issues turn out to be user error oe system configuration issues. The forum regulars are volunteers, we are unpaid. And its tough trying to decipher posts, figure out problems from across the web. On a system we cant access, Have to no idea whats installed. How its configured. And time and time again no one configures the system or is using hardware thats unknown or dodgy at best. The infornmation is all out there. The links at the top of the forum will get you 80% of the way there in a short time. Most of us have all started from the same place as any new user. Yet thread after thread we have to ask to the same information. And then get everything but what we asked for . you will get out of Pro Tools what you put into it. Ultimately we want you to succeed. Even if we come across as grumpy and demanding
