Re: Pro Tools 10 on Windows 8??
Hi Darryl
Been away for a bit came back and thought I'd try and install Pro tools again found the new 10.3.2 so I downloaded it completely uninstalled my PT 10.2 This is what is in my machine : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3770K CPU @ 3.50GHz, 3501 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical 32 8 GB 1333MHz DDR3 Non-ECC CL9 DIMM Kingston 2- 500 GB WD 7200 RPM 64 MB Cache HDD - SATA 3 - Black Edition 2- TB WD 7200 RPM 64 MB Cache HDD - SATA 3 - Black Edition 2- NVidia GTX 670 Video Cards Fire wire Card and MSI Z77A-GD80 Intel Z77 1155 4D.DDR3 V/L/S ATX main board Windows 8 version 6.2.9200 Windows sees my 003 just fine Install it and ran it in administrator mode It still does not work. Same error "Could not allocate memory for the disk cache. try lowering your disk buffer ( DAE Buffer). Disk cache size or engine voice count. I you got this error on launch , delete your prefs and try again ( -9514). There was nothing in the prefs folder … deleted it anyways … still didn’t work I am beginning to think Pro tools doesn’t like me ... So I thought maybe my 003 rack has a problem. I downloaded a copy of Mixcraft 6.1 a 75.00 Program !!!!! ... Picked it up right away ... no issues ... If this is how much work it takes to install … Not sure I want to spend the rest of life trying to use it. I am a big fan of using the industry standard stuff … this is why I went there in the first place … but not if it makes me crazy … Thank you for all your help ….. Let me know when and if Pro tools gets the windows installation part right. Pretty disappointed spent a few thousand dollars and to many hours just trying to get it to run on a windows. Sad , so very sad . Do you think I could get a refund? If so who would I talk to. I am one very frustrated customer Thanks again for your effort Mike |

Re: Pro Tools 10 on Windows 8??
I don't understand the urgency to run ProTools on Windows 8. Much less the angryness and unsatisfaction some are declaring as customers.
ProTools is advertised as compatible with Windows 7, not Windows 8 yet. It will when Windows 8 is the standard. So, I don't see how someone can get angry at Avid because ProTools doesn't work properly on Windows 8 yet. Also, you get the most of ProTools you can get on Windows 7. If you're trying to use the latest version of ProTools because you want to use the "industry standard" for recordings, then install Windows 7 and use it. No real professional tries to use his Windows + ProTools setup to use anything else on it (e.g. more software, games, etc). More than that, he follows all the Windows optimization points described in the support pages, which make the system look less pretty but function pretty well. After all, that's the role of that computer, being a perfectly clean and fast ProTools platform. If you want to use the computer you have as ProTools Worstation for something else, then you can boot a different Windows (XP, 7, 8, anything you want) from a different partition or disk. That will protect your ProTools setup from getting dirty or misconfigured.

If you want Pro Tools to run as advertised you need to stick to the stated spec requirements. Now if you are crazy, like me, and like flying by the seat of your pants and not having any support when something goes wrong, then install Windows 8

Re: Pro Tools 10 on Windows 8??
I explained my "urgency".
I have no issues with running pro tools on a supported platform, I "want" to test 10.3.2 on another computer before I update my main system. If there are people here that have worked through the windows 8 problems I would like their help, because the only computer I can test on is windows 8. I am not demanding or angry. |

Re: Pro Tools 10 on Windows 8??
I got passed the memory error somehow (can't remember what is was in the end). No audio would play back though when I imported audio clips. Then upon closing and re-opening Pro Tools it just crashes every time now.
It seems incredibly unstable in certain areas and fine in other areas (most plug-ins worked fine when I had the chance to test them). I've given up on it for the moment, I'm running it on my family iMac for the moment just to be able to do some uni work. (SIGH) |

Re: Pro Tools 10 on Windows 8??
I searched duc for all the disk cache error posts. The only fix I found (actually stopped looking after finding this) was running the installer as admin.
I tried that with no joy, after uninstalling and reboot. Today I installed the release version of windows 8 (using windows 8 upgrade tool), which I assume set me back to "zero" as no programs came across with the upgrade (only personal files). Tried again to install Pro Tools as admin but I'm still stuck at the disk cache error during startup. Yes I know there's posts saying that installing protools 9 and then uinstalling works but I don't have access to PT 9 installer anymore. |
