How to get DP to launch?

Post by SuperDave »

I know this is probably a simple issue, but I don't know how to fix it. Up until now, I didn't use my Powerbook for intensive DP tasks, so I just opened on my main user account. Now I will be using it for live backing tracks, and want a separate user account for DP. I created it, but when I try to launch DP, it does nothing. What else do I need to do in order to get it to launch from the new account?

thanks,
David

I'm not very familiar with that but you might have restricted something DP need to open. Maybe it's DP itself that's not available for the new account.

You should start you investigation there!

Good luck! 8)

Reinstall DP on the new user account. There is a way to simply put related files now in your root directory Library and old User Library into your *new* User Library, but it's easy to overlook something there.

Just install DP in your new User Accnt. Should be fine.
