Trashing prefs in PT 7?
In a reply to my post a while back someone suggested that in PT7 it was no longer necessary to trash the prefs and delete databases. Is this correct?

Re: Trashing prefs in PT 7?
I'm fairly confident that is incorrect.

Re: Trashing prefs in PT 7?
There seem to be a lot of users that have to do this on something of a regular basis. Seeing as this is a Digi recommended procedure, it would be nice if they would provide a small application that would do this for you. It would be nice to have a desktop icon that you could click on and it would find and delete all these files for you.

Re: Trashing prefs in PT 7?
A desktop icon would really be a pleasure to have. i don't know what the significance of the trashing is but i do know that i am reminded it's time to take out the trash when my midi notes start to become invisible while i'm editing. and it seems to happen every few hours so it's becoming routine for me.

Re: Trashing prefs in PT 7?
Go to your c drive. after opening your c drive click program files. then common files. then digidesign. then dae. you will then notice a file called dae prefs. this is the file you want to delete. you can also delete all digidesign database files on all drives in your system. then empty your recycle bin and you're done until next time.

There's a bit more to it than that. Details are in the General Troubleshooting thread.
