Hi Mates!

I would like to know if you are having similar problem as mine where PT 9 immediately crashes within seconds after the message below pops up upon launching.

Please throw in some suggestion on how should I revert back to PT 9.0.3?
Tried to launch PT 9.0.5 UPDATER upon downloading but will have a pop up message saying that it couldn't locate a valid Pro Tools Installation.

Cheers!

Random asssertion messages can usually be solved by trashing prefs and databases. Look in the General Troubleshooting thread for specifics on how to do that.

Hi! Thanks for your input. already tried to do the Preferences Database thrashing but still shooting blanks.

Anyway anybody knows what Pro Tools 9.0.5. Updater are for?
Because I couldn't launch it after download.

A message below will keep poppin up and it would be great to know the reason behind this;

"This Updater cannot locate a valid Pro Tools installation on your system. Press "Close" to continue.


Upgrade PT M-Powered 8 to a PT 9 Cross-grade via online some time back. And had not been updating my PT 9 until recently but it works fine until recently which I believe is due to Mac OS X 10.6.8 auto installation.

Did a clean uninstallation on 9.0.5. And then reinstall PT 9.0.2.
Works perfectly!
