Phait Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 http://www.phaitaccompli.com/pt.jpg Eugh. I got Pro Tools free just to mess around before I get anything else, aquaint myself - but I can't do that just yet unless I get this problem fixed. So I'm gonna update my soundcard drivers and fool around... Cyrix 150Mhz 96 MB RAM Win 98 Soundblaster Pro circa 1995/1996 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burningbusch Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 No offence Phait, but that Cyrix chip is pretty ancient and 96MB isn't really enough to run anything much any more. I know PT Free is incompatible with many non-Intel processors and chip sets. Digi put it out there and if it runs great, otherwise they're not going to do anything to ensure it works with a bunch of different stuff. I tried PT Free on the Mac and liked the straightforward approach of the software and got on board as a result. But I've got some 1995 era Macs in the garage that would probably give similar error messages if I tried to run PT Free on them. I don't they updated it since it was released. It doesn't support XP or OSX, for example. Busch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phait Posted August 10, 2003 Author Share Posted August 10, 2003 Pro Tools *FREE* doesn't run in WinXP/OS X, or Pro Tools itself? I'm sure PT $ runs, read that everywhere But yeah, I know this is an old PC.. I'll be building a desktop after I get the laptop. I'll be building PC most likely cause thats what I do everything else on ('net, games, web design) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Heins Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 Pro Tools runs in XP, but you need a hardware upgrade all the way around! For Pro Tools free you need Win 98 or ME, XP if you are going to get the full boat Either way, Mac or PC, you need a new computer. Darkon the Incandescent http://www.billheins.com/ Hail Vibrania!

dementia13 Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 Cyrix 150? I had one of those. In 1997. Secondhand. With that, you're limited to Win 95 or 98, so you'll get a lot of crashes that you wouldn't get on a modern OS. Was that the original Grand Theft Auto? Way retro, man. Seriously, though, you can get apps crashing on OS X, too. IME, though, the worst offenders are WMP and Office: Microsoft products. With Windows, it doesn't help that IE is integrated into the OS, so if IE crashes, your OS is in trouble. And that million or so hackers picking at Windows shouldn't leave you feeling secure.
