PRO TOOLS 5.1 ON A WINDOWS XP SYSTEM PROBLEMS.
hello
i recently bought a new computer and it is running windows xp. today i bought a digi 001 from guitar center and the pro tools software is 5.1. the computer will not allow me to install the digi 001 . the error comes up saying the class installer has denied the request to install device. when i go to install the software a prompter comes up that reads, installation requires windows me or windows 98 second edition, i dont understand since im running xp. i do not have this computer connected to the internet in any way. it is going to be an audio only computer. i had it built around the allen machine. if any one knows how i can fix this annoying issue please let me know i would greatly appreciate it. thanks alot. |

Re: PRO TOOLS 5.1 ON A WINDOWS XP SYSTEM PROBLEMS.
Pro Tools LE 5.1 runs ONLY on Windows 98se or ME. It will NOT work with the Windows XP operating system.
The GOOD news is that a better version is available - Pro Tools 5.3.1, which is available for download here at the www.digidesign.com site. Since you just bought your Digi 001, it should be free for you. Here's a link: http://www.digidesign.com/download/winup/ Download that, install it and use your validation code from the inside cover of your "Getting Started" guide. One major bonus: The Win XP version (5.3.1) is 32 tracks instead of the 24 you get with The Win 98SE / ME version. [img]images/icons/cool.gif[/img]

Another major bonus is it won't crash several times a day. I sure miss having to reformat and reload my software every couple weeks.
Just as much as I miss old tricky Dick. |
