Default Re: Advice for installing PT 9 crossgrade?

I had bad experiences with my Mbox 2 crashing my Mac, so I'm not even planning on using it with PT 9 (I'll use my Apogee Duet instead).

I really want to make sure I'm starting from scratch with PT to avoid any problems. I'd appreciate any advice you have to offer here. Thanks!
Hi,

There's an uninstaller in the digidesign folder in applications.

You have 2 options "safe" and "clean" clean will be your best option for a new install like this!! also trash all your prefs after the uninstall, you can use this app to trash all prefs...

repair disk permissions and reboot the mac before installing PT9

MAKE SURE ALL PLUGINS ARE UP TO DATE AND COMPATIBLE

Incompatible plugins are the biggest cause of unreliability and crashing!!
