lock ups on 5.1
does anybody else have a problem with "disk allocation" or "import" functions????
I've crashed so hard so many times that I feel like Dale Earnhardt.... |

Re: lock ups on 5.1
I have not experienced any crashes when accessing the Disk Allocation and/or Import Audio windows.
-What errors, if any, are you getting? -What are the specs of your system (computer, Mac OS, hardware, drives, format utility, etc)? Brent |

Re: lock ups on 5.1
Yep,
Had problems importing audio too. When I took off our SCSI-chain and put it back on the problem was solved... it almost seemed to be a termination-problem, as PT searches for drives when you import. Anyway...my 2 cents. Barnier

Re: lock ups on 5.1
System profile:
Blue G3 400 MHz 6 gig HD (partitioned 3/3) 256 mb RAM MixPlus 888/24 interface USD Sample Cell II TDM Magma 7 slot twin 9 gig Cheetas Glyph DVD-RAM/CDR unit Installed 5.1 software - experienced intermittent system lock-ups with the following prompts: "error type 41", "time synchronizer", "Kensington Startup", "Folder Actions", "EM Extensions" This would happen mostly when working with disk allocation and import functions - though not every time. System could be revived by re-booting until finally it would not come back to life. We re-installed MAC OS 9 last nite and today it seems to be working. Any ideas ? |

Re: lock ups on 5.1
OK, now I'm back to crashing pretty regularly... mostly with the import audio function involved....there seems to be a notion here that there is an issue with some of the extensions....are there any basic rules to extensions conflicts with 5.1 ? Perhaps a set of "do's " and "don't's"?

Re: lock ups on 5.1
If you suspect an extension conflict:
-Open the Extensions Manager Control Panel. From the selected set pop-up menu, select “OS 9.x base” click on “Duplicate Set" at the bottom of the window. Name the set whatever you like. Enable the following extensions and restart the computer: -Digidesign Control Panel -DigiSystem INIT -Digidesign Direct I/O (required with DSI 5.0.1 and later) -Digidesign DSP Manager -Digidesign Stream Manager (only if using DirectConnect) -Open Music System -USB Floppy Enabler Brent |
