DP8 till crashing after installing Waves VI demo
A week later and after doing everything I can to get my system back to normal, what was a well operating system is now crashing several times a day - at least, and it all started with the damn Waves demo of their VI...
I am so anti-Waves at this point. What intrusive and crappy programming. I don't care how good their plugs are, if they can't make a demo that uninstalls properly and without taking over the entire system, nothing else matters. I've always had problems with Waves stuff. I'm so done with them.

Sorry to hear this. I thought you got things going again. Just spit balling, but does Waves install any kernel extensions .kext files? Also, I'm assuming you may have already tried this, but did you look at the installer .pkg with Pacifist to see exactly what was installed?
Did you do a system restore from Time Machine to a time prior the installation?

I'll look at the installer. Great reminder! Thanks.

So, has Yosemite cured your troubles?

I didn't spend a lot of time on the Mac yesterday because I was rehearsing for a gig last night. I'll know more in a few hours. Thanks for asking.

Re: DP8 till crashing after installing Waves VI demo
So sorry to hear about this.
Major bummer!
I'm hoping you've got it sorted out.
Did you contact Waves tech support?
At least give them a call.
They have been answering in real time for me...
Worth a shot.

All is well
