launching problems help

[vince v]

got my digi and installed it today and i cannot launch it-i've done everything by the book and when i try to check if it's working with the demo session,pro tools le comes up on the finder bar and just hangs on that. i'm running on os 9.0.2. i've tried re-booting, and gone through the trouble shooting section in the reference guide. also, tried digitest and no flags came up. my system is 256 megs of ram 500 mhz g4. i've got a 20 gig ata internal drive and no external drives as of yet. digi tech or anyone who can please advise on what may be the problem. i'm pretty frustrated about this, but i'm sure it's something simple i'm overlooking. thanks vince v

There's a thing called "hang" that happens
to some people / systems (not me)
when people *1st* do Pro-Tools 5LE.
Check the search for HANG and you'll see.
It's not a biggie, apparently,
once you wait the 1st time.
Good luck!

Hey Vince,

nice to hear your Digi arrived - thanks for all the mails...

Anyway onto "The Wait" (not the old Band classic)
Check out the FAQ section on the Digi 001 site - http://www.digi001.com/faq001.html and check out point 2 in the troubleshoting.

Good luck man and look forward to working with you soon!!!

as i thought the fix was simple- i fired up protools and waited then went and did some things and came back to my screen-it requested the auth. code in the front of the manual and boom i was up and running. now i'm just doing some noodling learning how my system works/reading. thanks for the info.
