How do you have your Glyph hooked up?
Also make sure there are no cd's in your drive...mine hung on "initializing databases" the other day 'cause I had a cd in the tray. odd.

okay there are a lot of things to choose from that could be the problem ,,, i followed this

"DAE -6096 or DAE -1115, FireWire communication problems.
On some Windows XP computers, if a DAE error -6096 or -1115 occur, or you experience random communication problems between Digi 002 and Pro Tools, try disabling "PCI to DRAM prefetch" in the BIOS Setup utility.

This can be found in the BIOS > Advanced > Chip configuration "

but in my bios , advanced setting , there is NO chip configuration option , could it be called something else..


Still trying and still confused !


Anyone??!?!?!
