Afternoon all.

After experiencing some strange behavior with Protools I decided to take the plunge and download the update and in turn hopefully fix my issues.

How wrong I was.

After downloading the update and installing as per normal, Protools launches no problem, but then digs its heels in and refuses to open ANY sessions.

Cold panic sets in as I'm neck deep in 3 EP's at present.

Checking forums for answers I get none, so I re-install tools 8.0.1 and happy days! My sessions return.

So really just wondering if anyone else had this issue? Also may serve as a warning to others and a lesson learnt for myself NEVER upgrade halfway through a session let alone 3!


Cheers

Can't say I have had any problems..............yet

our install is all good aswell.

hmmmmm...ah well perhaps it left a 0 or 1 out somewhere during download for me.

Might try again after my current jobs are done and dusted!

PT8 on windows is buggy as hell. V7.4 is rock solid on the same system and V8 has memory errors and white noise issues. Check the DUC. There are heapd of people suffering 6031 errors. I tried the new update no good here either. I rolled back to initial release 8.0 and it's more stable however it hates the UAD2 Quad. Just can't seem to get them happy together. Whatever slot their in.

I'll be rolling back to 7.4 until they get this sorted.

Interesting! I've found PT8 way more stable on windows than 7.4 and it works more smoothly with my UAD2 as well. PT is way too touchy with components that really shouldn't make that much difference.

I think different versions of tools have problems with different motherboard/CPU/ram combinations. I remember 7.3 was running like a dream on my system, then I went to 7.3.1 or whatever and it was super sluggish and performed terribly... Then I went up to 7.4 and it went back to going great. Go figure. I've had friends who have had similar problems on completely different versions

It's certainly very delicate. After all the years of running natively this has been a whole new ball game.

Maybe I should.....deep breath...... buy a Mac.

I went down this path. Damn expensive but I have finally stopped wanting to throw large metal objects at the screen.

We've just put PT 8.0.3 on a whole heap of mac pro systems, no problems at all, in fact quite good

haven't tried the cs1 yet.

these are all HD systems with snow leopard but
