7.4 + Mbox2 = STILL FREEZING!!!!

[mlehmann]

Since I installed Leopard I didn't experience the kernel panic issue I had with 10.4.10. ProTools is working ok altough there's reasons why DIgi doesn't support it yet: First, the Xpand GUI is scrambled to say the least and the time counters are quite sluggish. Everything else seems to work. If you plan to upgrade to Leopard, I strongly suggest to make a clone of your hard drive on a FW hard drive with Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper. That way, you'll be able to boot in Tiger in case something's not working.

Thanks! I can't wait now to upgrade to Leopard and 7.4 as soon as possible and put all this freezing crap behind me.

yes I get this same problem all the time(Error messae 6101 and 6105 CPU overload).I tried to contact digi design but no reply. Will upgrade PT and mac os and report back.

Thanks guys

Ok so I've just installed 7.4 with tiger 10.4.9 and it seems to be working better! I can use 10 tracks of audio with 5 plugins on each + 5 instruments before the (6101 CPU overload) error message shows it's ugly head. This is a definite improvement but I'm pretty sure my Mac is capable of much more! I'm going to backup 10.4.9 and give 10.4.10 a go before I go ahead with the upgrade to leopard, I realise that 10.4.10 hasn't been cleared with protools but I've heard a couple of people say it has helped with this particular problem. Anyone had any luck with 7.4 and leopard or heard anything back from Digidesign yet?

hey bad ben -
just want to point out the original theme of this thread.
My problem doesn't involve ANY error messages
The computer freezes (spinning beachball) and requires a hard shutdown
You may get more helpful info about your issue if you start a new thread with your specific problem listed in the topic/title
good luck

Sorry I did'nt explain that after the error message appears Protools crashes. I will also open up a new post of my own thanks.
