Launch DAE Error -1

[LeeA]

Hi All

I wonder if anyone can help with this please?

My system: Powermac G4 800 Quicksliver, 10.3.9 (Panther) 1.5g RAM, Mix Core Card, Mix Farm Card, DSP Farm Card, TDM 6.4.1

My issue is on occasions when launching PT it instantly gives me "DAE Error -1 was encountered" while it does the Initializing Hardware...

It seems that it could be a card/pci slot issue as I re-seated all the cards and reconnected them one by one starting with the core - PT laucnhed no problem, so I reconnected the rest - again no problem, but I seem to have to do this about once a week. Could the PCI slot where the core is be faulty? So I'm wondering, could I move all my cards down by 1 slot? I have 6 slots (I think?). My first 2 have cards in them running my 2 screens and I use the next 3 for the PT cards. Could I use the cards in slots 4, 5 and 6 and leave slot 3 free (as I think that might be the faulty one?)

Any other help or advice on the DAE -1 would be great

thanks

Lee
