Win 7 won't load PT 8 or update 8.0.3
Hi,
I've got Win 7 Pro on a dell latitude E6500 - intel core duo P8700 @2.53GHz I've got an m-audio fast track pro working fine with other applications (eg SMAART). I downloaded the 8.0.3 update and it won't load 'cause it wants to update an existing installation of PT. The CD for PT 8.0 won't load - dvd drive is busy; occasional noises but nothing changes since I click install. Explorer also becomes unresponsive. I've un-installed IE8 and tried again; same thing. Memory usage is low; cpu usage is also very low - under 10%. When I eject CD the installer complains about media missing but.. surely something would have happened in the 20min before eject ? Is there a way to dowload a full version of PT8.0.3 ? Any other ideas ? Sorry new to forums but not had problems with PT 7 or 8 on XP or Vista. TIA, Andrew |

Try copying the entire contents of the cd/dvd to a folder on your desktop; then install from there.

Thanks for that tip.
copying didn't work so it's either a problem with the media or a problem with my dvd drive. I can access another computer so will try copying cd from there; and can get hold of another PT8 cd as well. I'll try both out. Thanks, Andrew |

Had a hell of a installing PT 8 mpowered on my Win 7 64 bit laptop I just got.
It would install but would hang for the longest time and give error (Creative collection error 2147213312) No matter what I did every time it attempted to install the creative collection Try this - Uninstall PT and delete the Digidesign folder in the C drive. Along with the Digidesign folder in the common files. 1st Reinstall only the RTAS Instruments when this Completes reinstall PT 8. Not sure why it worked, but it did. |
