DAW Dead

[DonM]

Well this is a real first for me ....


PT 9.0.1 Win7 64 Bit M-Audio Profire 610 won't run at all.

After I click on the PT icon, immediately I get: a dialog box that says

Operating System Error:
Cannot Create a File when that file already exists. ID: eOS : 183 / path : 3



Also Sonar 8.5.3 won't run, it gets the same error

Both Pro Tools and Sonar worked perfectly yesterday - I will review what changed in a moment.

Sound Forge 9 shows the error but eventually opens. Premiere Pro CS4 opens fine as does IZotope RX4


I have reinstalled the ProFire Driver and reinstalled Pro Tools 9.0.1 that did not solve the problem for Sonar nor PT. I uninstalled the Profire 610 and Sonar still get the same error.

The only thing that changed on the system is I installed the $20.11 Presonus Studio One Artist special running this week at NAMM last evening. Maybe it's a killer worm!!!! I have obviously uninstalled Studio One but that didn't seem to have any impact.

After searching the forums I found 2007 threads about memory leaks and XP SP3 with firewire hot fixes.

So, I am dead in the water - can anyone point me in a direction before I spend three days totally rebuilding my system!!!!

All help is greatly appreciated!!!

Best
