Help! Crashes when trying to open PT!

[cerebral]

I get the following crash report consistently when I click the PT application icon or on any of my session files on my mounted HD. What is a "KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE"??

I already trashed prefs, repaired disk permissions. Energy saver's on Highest Performance. I don't know what the issue could be.
Please help!

Did you recently upgrade to 7.3.x because I can only advise not to. I thought 7.3.1 might be ok because the disapearing audio problem was suppose to be fixed so away I went and downloaded the 7.3 and the 7.3.1 fix only to find that pro tools didn't open at all! All that came up was the "Pro Tools unexpectedly had to quit" window "report to apple?" bla bla.

Not happy. I just killed a rock solid Pro Tools system. I'm in the process on uninstalling Pro Tools and getting back up to 7.2 where everything was happy.

Sorry I'm not much help!

[cerebral]

it's okay. no, i know better by now not to fix what ain't broken. i've been using 6.4 since i got it back in January 05, which is why this "Pro Tools unexpectedly quit" thing is so odd.

thx anyway though.

anyone else?
