To confirm, are you getting the exact same error as described in this troubleshooting video?

Do you use Internet Explorer? If you install the latest flash player through IE, does it make a difference?

Can you locate the quickstart.html file in C:\Program Files (x86)\Digidesign\Pro Tools\QuickStart\ and then right-click and choose to open it with Internet Explorer? Does the menu display properly in IE?

I have found a way to fix the problem!!! Simply go to your digidesign folder>Pro Tools>Demo Songs then choose one of these and inside the folder is a .ptf file. Open that and it completely skips the quickstart menu. Delete all the tracks and then save it as copy of session or something and then your fine. If you do not have the demo songs folder reinstall pro tools SE and be sure to check the box that asks if you want to install the demo songs and loops. Hope this helps!!

I found a solution that works. The problem is the result of poor programming and it disturbs me that Avid has not found the time or taken the responsibility to correct it or even address it in these forums. We the consumer have paid for a product that did not work out of the box. They do not appear to care.

I am a computer technical support agent and I can attest to the fact that no one cares whether your problem is solved or not.

I did the usual, uninstalled Pro-Tools SE, uninstalled Flash. reinstalled Flash , reinstalled Pro-Tools SE. Nothing worked.

So since this software did not acknowledge any Flash version higher that 9.0.124 . I searched for older Flash versions and found
http://www.oldapps.com/flash_player.php. I uninstalled Pro-tools and Flash and downloaded and installed 9.0.16.0.

I then re-installed the Pro-Tools-SE , it gave the same error but this time when I ungraded to Flash 11.1.102.55 it actually worked.

I hope this works for you.

P.S. I must have wasted 3 hours on this.

my people i solved the problem about "Flash Player Error"

step 1:
-install the FLV player

step 2:
-the FLV will ask you to update the your flash player, if not, do it anyway, so reinstall it from abode http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

step 3:
-you must have connected your M-audio micro USB, then open you pro tools SE and you got it!...it works!

The root of the problem is a wrong entry in windows registry that has to be erased (deleted)

Attention: If you have any doubts don't do the operation above, contact me and i will help.

1. Open windows registry (be careful here)
2. Access the Node:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Internet Settings\Zones]
3. Export this entire registry for back up purposes just in case
4. Notice the entries... the first entry within the root informed above should start from number 0 (zero), however you may notice that the first entry is a symbol different from any numbers we know. This entry has to be deleted. Only this entry.


I did this and now it works fine!! Please try it and if it works let me know.

I think the issue is that the addons are disabled for Internet Explorer so its not able to run the flash part of the quickstart menu. I'm currently trying to get this going on my computer.

This is SO annoying. So many buyers of the M-Audio etc. rely on PT SE to do demos and write Avid should really sort this out. Happens on Mac too!

Perhaps get rid of the aging/failing Flash dependence? Upgrade PT SE??
