Problems launching pro tools 8 for 1st time
 
I just set up my iMac G5 with Leopard 10.5.7 and downloaded and installed the Pro Tools 8 upgrade. When I tried launching it it loads all the plugins until it gets to DigiRewire.dpm at which point it stops for about 10 seconds and I get a message saying 'The application Pro Tools LE quit unexpectedly after it was launched'. I've tried reinstalling after doing a safe uninstall but that didn't make a difference. I'm fairly computer illiterate so I don't know what else to troubleshoot.

Hi there. I've had that too...here's how I solved it, for the moment anyway:

If you use Finder to navigate to your "Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Digidesign/Plug-Ins" folder, there is a file in there called "DigiReWire.dpm". Drag that file out of the folder (to the Desktop if you like), and then try launching Pro Tools.

Hopefully they find a fix.

The 'fix' is to make sure all your ReWire capable applications - Live, Reason, Melodyne, etc - are the minimum compatible version. Usually it's just best to get the latest version from the manufacturers website.

Thanks! That worked perfect. At least I can get stuff done now until I have time to update the other plugins.
