Pro Tools crashing after loading plugins AAE Error -9178

[mremcbride]

Hello All!

I guess I should start from the beginning. I recently switched out my computers hard drive (windows stopped loading, I needed a bigger hard drive) so I got windows all set up and my files transferred over (wasn't an image copy). Anyway I was trying to get my M-Track Plus audio interface to work so I was messing around with settings when my computer froze. Didn't seem like a big deal at the time so I just restarted my computer.

Ever since I've been getting this error message upon load. I've tried uninstalling everything to do with pro tools, reverting back to an older version (currently have 12.4 running), deleting the prefs and plug in database in trasher, deleting the workflow file, moving all of my plug ins to the unused folder with no luck. I've even had a avid tech support guy come in and try to speed up my PC with no luck (he wants to blame it on my i3 Processor but I don't buy it, pro tools loaded perfectly fine before the crash)

As soon as it loads the plug ins the -9178 pops up and it closes as soon as I hit okay or more info. Was able to generate a crash report once and that's it. Otherwise the program just closes as soon as I hit more info

Idk what to do. I just want to make music...
