Default Crashing

Hi, I have just downloaded Pro Tools but every time it starts, it opens for a few seconds and crashes. Any idea why and how can I fix it?

It starts once again and happens every year about this time. People get PT, don't bother to read the manual, come here and ask for help with zero system info. Expect a rash of these types of questions over the next few days.


PT is a complex beast and is not plug and play like an Xbox.

Hi,


Lets start with the basics...


What computer?
What operating system?
Internal sound or external sound card/device?

how much ram?
Hard drive space?
Did you install anything else at the same time?
