Pro Tools M-Powered Locks up while loading....

[pockets745]

Check this out. I have a Neko 64 dual Opteron 1.4 gig system. 1 gig ram. XP Pro SP2. I originally had PTMP 6.8 installed, but couldn't get past the splash screen, as the whole system would lock up at the digirewire plug-in....everytime. The same place. I'd have to reset the whole comp. Last night I was up till 5:00 AM working on this. I downloaded 7.0, which required me to upgrade to SP2. and to fully uninstall 6.8. I did all these things, and then installed 7.0.

I then ran PTMP7.0, and wouldn't you know.........it still locked up at the digirewire plug-in!! It took me a while, but I finally found where the plug-ins are located, and removed both files named digirewire.XXX.

ProTools then loaded and ran!! I imported a project from my HD3 system, and all seemed fine. Then, I got out, and tried to go back in again. this time it told me my Ilok had expired!! Never could get it to run again. By the way, the Ilok works fine on my Powerbook install. Anyone?......hello..........!!
