PTLE8 will not install
Hi guys, and thanks in advance for your help.
I am trying to install a boxed version of PTLE8 on my computer, running XP Pro (SP2). I have included the Sandra report below. I insert the disc, and try to install PT. It hangs on "Installing Digidesign hardware drivers . . . " (after I've clicked the "continue anyway" buttons and NOT clicked on the "Found Hardware" pop-up). I have to cancel the install with the Task Manager. On the third or fourth try, PT will install. Then when I click on the desktop icon to launch it, I get a message saying that Pro Tools could not find a wmdll file (sorry, the exact text escapes me), and that "reinstalling might fix the problem." I have reinstalled for the past few hours . . . doesn't seem to help. I've done all the fixes on the general XP troubleshoot forums, EXCEPT that I'm not sure how to replace the NVIDIA video drivers to the standard Windows drivers. I have also downloaded the AMD dual-core optimizer for the AMD Athlon 64 X2 dual-core processor. Anyone have a suggestion? Thanks. ------ Sandra report: SiSoftware Sandra System Model : nVIDIA C51PVM06 Workgroup : WORKGROUP Host Name : NatePC User : Administrator Processor Model : AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4200+ Speed : 2.2GHz Cores per Processor : 2 Unit(s) Threads per Core : 1 Unit(s) Type : Dual-Core Integrated Data Cache : 2x 64kB, Synchronous, Write-Back, 2-way, Exclusive, 64 byte line size L2 On-board Cache : 2x 512kB, ECC, Synchronous, Write-Back, 16-way, Exclusive, 64 byte line size System Mainboard : nVIDIA 6150BK8MC BIOS : Phoenix Technologies, LTD 6.00 PG (01/23/2006) Bus(es) : ISA X-Bus PCI PCIe IMB USB i2c/SMBus Multi-Processor (MP) Support : No Multi-Processor Advanced PIC (APIC) : Yes Total Memory : 2.69GB DDR Chipset Model : AMD Athlon 64 / Opteron HT Hub Front Side Bus Speed : 2x 1GHz (2GHz) Total Memory : 2.75GB DDR Memory Bus Speed : 2x 201MHz (402MHz) Memory Module(s) Memory Module : Samsung M3 68L3223FTN-CCC 256MB DDR PC3200U DDR-200 (3-3-3-8 2-11-0-0) Memory Module : Crucial 512MB DDR PC3200U DDR-200 (3-3-3-8 2-11-0-0) Memory Module : Corsair VS1GB400C3 1GB DDR PC3200U DDR-200 (3-3-3-8 2-11-0-0) Memory Module : Micron 16VDDT12864AY40BF2 1GB DDR PC3200U DDR-200 (3-3-3-8 2-11-0-0) Video System Adapter : NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GS (4 PS3.0, 3 VS3.0 552MHz, 256MB DDR3 2x526MHz, PCIe 1.00 x16) Storage Devices WDC WD800AAJS-60PSA0 (80GB, SATA300, 3.5", 7200rpm, NCQ, 8MB Cache) : 75GB (D:) ST3120811AS (120GB, SATA150, 3.5", NCQ, 8MB Cache) : 112GB (C:) HL-DT-ST DVD-RW GWA-4165B (ATA66, DVD+-RW, CD-RW, 2MB Cache) : N/A (E:) LITE-ON DVD C LH52C1P (ATA44, DVD+-R, CD-RW, 2MB Cache) : 8GB (F:) Logical Storage Devices Hard Disk (D:) : 75GB (NTFS) @ WDC WD800AAJS-60PSA0 (80GB, SATA300, 3.5", 7200rpm, NCQ, 8MB Cache) Hard Disk (C:) : 112GB (NTFS) @ ST3120811AS (120GB, SATA150, 3.5", NCQ, 8MB Cache) Optical Drive (E:) : N/A @ HL-DT-ST DVD-RW GWA-4165B (ATA66, DVD+-RW, CD-RW, 2MB Cache) Pro Tools LE (F:) : 8GB (CDFS) @ LITE-ON DVD C LH52C1P (ATA44, DVD+-R, CD-RW, 2MB Cache) 3.5" 1.44MB (A:) : N/A Peripherals LPC Hub Controller 1 : Foxconn MCP51 LPC Bridge LPC Legacy Controller 1 : ITE IT8712F Audio Device : Foxconn MCP51 High Definition Audio Audio Codec : Realtek Semiconductor 880 High Definition Audio Serial Port(s) : 1 Parallel Port(s) : 1 Disk Controller : Foxconn MCP51 Parallel ATA Controller Disk Controller : Foxconn MCP51 Serial ATA Controller Disk Controller : Foxconn MCP51 Serial ATA Controller USB Controller 1 : Foxconn MCP51 USB Controller USB Controller 2 : Foxconn MCP51 USB Controller SMBus/i2c Controller 1 : nVidia MCP5+ SMBus 1 SMBus/i2c Controller 2 : nVidia MCP5+ SMBus 2 Network Services Network Adapter : NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller (Ethernet, 100Mbps) Power Management Mains (AC) Line Status : On-Line Operating System Windows System : Microsoft Windows XP Professional 5.01.2600 (Service Pack 2) Platform Compliance : x86 Performance Tips Warning 100 : Large memory sizes should be made of Registered/Buffered memory.

Re: PTLE8 will not install
The exact text of the error message:
"ProToolsLE.exe - Unable to Locate . . . This application has failed to start because wmidx.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem." Hope that helps. |
