After Upgrading to OS 10.4.6, DP crashed and Mach 5.....

Post by elmurfo »

Hey guys,

I installed OS 10.4.6 on a G4 dual 1.25 Ghz machine with 1.75 GB RAM. I had DP 5.0 and Mach 5 running fine. After the OS installation, I upgraded DP to 5.1 and Mach 5 to 1.2.3.

I then opened DP and tried to open a past project and it crashed as soon as it loaded....every time. I noticed if I "loaded" the sequence from the File menu, I could do it, minus the soundbytes.

Mach 5 was operational but when I went into the module, all the instruments in each MIDI channel were invisible, along with most of the settings in the top window - they exist, but do not show up. I've tried restarting, deleting prefs - nothing. Same thing happens.

As of now, I have uninstalled 5.1 and reinstalled 5.0 - the forementioned file works again but Mach 5 still has it's selections within the module invisible.

What's the deal? Anyone see anything like this? If so, how do you resolve it? I don't want to do any work arounds - I'd rather install older versions that work.

Thanks all.
Brian
