Default Pro Tools Launch Stops at Xpand

Mine is doing the same thing... I did what you did and it still isn't working for me. I didn't delete the avid folder in my applications though, not sure if im supposed to or not.
Real talk though, ProTools support really blows. Oh wait! what support

Default Re: Pro Tools Launch Stops at Xpand

Moved your posts from a thread from 2009 to a new thread. Please include all of your system details when reporting a problem:
Mac OS X version number
Pro Tools version number
Hardware Setup (computer and audio interface)

And in this case, the version number of the Xpand! plug-in.

Then we can try to help.

I had the same problem a month ago. Turns out it was because I was was using a Razer mouse and the installed utility, Razer Synapse was causing PT not to launch past Xpand. I ran the uninstaller and now PT works flawlessly.
