Woah!

That’s tough love… I’d never heard of migration assistant till our IT guy mentioned it and proceeded to use it – clearly a bad idea. This will take a few deep breaths and some zen meditation before starting as there is a load of pain in what I have on the machine, FCP, ProTools (plus a busload of plug-ins), Photoshop, Freehand etc etc. rigorous authorizations abound – will be many hours of carefully managing serial no’s , uninstalls, etc. Still if that’s what it’ll take I’ll have to do it.

I take it there’s absolutely nothing else I can try first? 🙂

Thanks for the response

Ah Wish I could get this far! AE 7 is crashing when I start it up – at the final point of start up. (getting that quit unexpectedly window) I’m on a 2 x 3 GHz Dual-Core Intel machine with 3 GB of ram (DDR2 FB-DIMM). I must admit that our IT guy used the Migration Assistant when I upgraded from my pre intel Dual G5. But I have since trashed prefs, run permission repairs and reinstalled (a few times). Could it be anything to do with the way my RAM is installed? Also, forgive my ignorance, but not sure exactly what Rosetta apps and precesses are – and where do you lower memory settings. Though, as I can’t get the app opened at this stage that may only come later…

Thanks,

Dan
