Pro Tools 12 HD crashes with new sessions.

Since I got Pro Tools HD 12 I've had problems getting session to load. I tried opening an omf today and crashed. No problems booting PT it's only when trying to create new sessions or when I try to load an existing session after Ive shut PT down. What I've discovered is I have to trash prefs every single time to get it to work. As soon as I do this it's fine. But...everytime???

It's a pain because I lose my prefs and have to reset my Ethernet peripherals. I've tried removing latest plugins. This was never a problem on vanilla.

I'm on 12.8.1

No idea why this is happening to you, but, if you do need to dump prefs use Pete Gates' utility on Mac or guitardom's utility on PC to save/dump/restore prefs.

I've been using Trasher. I just don't know where to go with this. Annoying though.
