Default Can\'t get my older pro tools to open on my new computer.

I had my m-box and Pro Tools 6.1.2 on my old G3 ibook, but it crashed about 6 months ago and I upgraded to the new Macbook. I've been trying to reinstall my Pro Tools on it and it did, but now when I click on it in the dock it starts to open but then says:

Digidesign hardware is in use by another application. (-1133)

Why is this? Is it because I already had pro tools installed on the old computer? Maybe the older version, (6.1.2), can't run on the newer operating system? I'm can't find any info on this.

Some of the specs on my Macbook are:

Version 10.4.6
Processor: 2GHz Intel Core Duo
Memory: 1 GB DDR2 SDRAM

Let me know if there's any other info I should give.

Thanks.

HI,


6.x does not run with intel Macs.
buy the 7.3 upgrade, read the troubleshooting thread at the top of this forum
and stay away from OS X 10.4.9 for now.

Awesome, thanks a lot for the help. Will the pro tools upgrade work with my old, (original) m-box? That info is probably somewhere else but if anyone happens to read this and knows the answer i'd appreciate it.

Thanks again.

7.3 will work just fine with your Mbox. Make sure download the plugin direct from the manufacturers sites or here at Digidesign. You can probably use your pre 7.1.1 CD's and original plugin installer CD's as coasters now
