Error 6086

[arnocekkert]

Hi folks,

So the dreaded Error 6086 has been showing up since I upgraded to PT 7. I researched and found out that it could have something to do with chipset compatibility. I have an Intel i945PM chipset and I'm wondering if this is the problem. I just don't understand how I was doing fine on PT 6 and yet now it's crapping out on me. HELP!!

Going from 6? Which 6 are we talking about. If its pre 6.4cs9, are you still running XP with SP1? Time to update to SP2 for sure. Also, check to see if your drives are operating in DMA mode as I seem to remember that error often relates to drives running in PIO mode. If this doesn't help, come back with your full specs and see if someone else can offer some better ideas.

I have a Dell inspiron duo core 1.8, 2 G, 5400 Hard Drive, Chipset Intel i945PM, Running PT 7.3. I upgraded to Pro tools 7 recently and that's when I'm pretty sure I started getting the error. I did some research and found out that it might be the chipset that's not Compatible. But i'm just wondering why it's compatible with PT 6 and not PT 7. MUZEIX...check what chipset you have - you can download PC Wizard 2008...that's what I did. If your chipset's not compatible...then you're screwed...hate to say it...that's what I'm worried about right now.

im wondering if i can just run my old pro tools then and live with it.

[arnocekkert]

Yeah i'm prob going to down grade to PT 6 and try to live with that...The main problem though is that i can only use one processor when I record...so everytime I have to go into my bios and turn one off. Hey muzeix, I'm gonna try and find a chipset compatibility list from digidesign, it'd be great you could help out with that..

[muzeix]

TO ALL WHO READ THIS!!!!! I GIVE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SCREW IT! IF DIGI CANT FIND WAYS TO HELP US OUT OR SPEND TIME IN SEEKING ANSWERS OR JUST MAKING IT MORE COMPATIBLE THEN FORGET IT. I WILL SPEND MY MONEY ELSE WHERE. I AM NOW USING CUBASE 4 WHICH IS EASIER, DOES BASICALLY THE SAME THING, I CAN USE MY MBOX ON IT AND EVERYTHING WORKS JUST FINE!!!!! AND DON'T GO ON AND ON ABOUT THE "INDUSTRY STANDARD AND WHAT NOT" I DONT CARE!!! I JUST WANT TO MAKE MUSIC DAMN IT!!! MAKE THE SWITCH!! IF PT AINT WORKING THEN JUST SWITCH UP TILL DID FIGURES OUT THAT EVEN US LOWLY PRODUCERS COUNT...
AND IM OUT!

How can you consider migrating,

with Pro Tools being the industry standard and what not?!
