PT 10.3.10 Crash on start up

[Jace Everett]

Hey folks,

Like an idiot, I updated some plug-ins mid project (will I ever learn?), and am now enjoying some time off from the project. ahem.

Anyway, I purchased a couple of new Waves plug-ins, updated my Waves bundle to 9.6, and now PT10 hangs on loading the plugs, and summarily crashes.

Here's the error message. Any help would be appreciated:

Got it sorted. Just needed to trash all the preferences (again), and delete the last scrap of Pitch 'n Time which I had over looked.

Whew!
