[fullmoon]

Hye,
When i try to open pro tools free, i get this message: " DAE erroe -228 encountered ".
What does it mean, and what can i do?
Thanks

I guess it's just that protools is not able to mount the library or something similar, did you check on the digidesign website ? Or on the Duc digidesign discussion list ? below you will find a list od the typical DAE error messages.

What you can try right away is just throwing away the Pro Tools preference and resart the computer sometimes the preferences get corrupted I have this problem very often with my mBox and PT LE under OSX.

Hope it helps

I think I found your problem Are you on OSX ? If so remember that PT free is only working with OS 9 up to 9.2.

Further more you cannot use the OS 9 classic mode under OSX cause it's not a real OS9 Sorry
here is the message from Digidesign web support


Answer Details

DAE error -228 when launching Pro Tools FREE.

Pro Tools FREE is not compatible with Mac OS X (not even in Classic mode).

If you want to use PT free you need to have Mac OS ) installed on a separate partition of your hard disk. If you have one of the new Mac machines which doesn't boot under OS9 it's over for PT free
sorry

I have a new Powerbook 15" (bought in Jan. 2003) with boot up in OSX but also includes OS 9 Classic. I just have to re-boot in OS 9 and then I'm able ot use ProTools Free. I've recorded audio and used Kontakt with it without hassle.


Perhaps there are a new set of Macs that the ProTools tech department is referring to.

[pesji]

Ithink they are talking about the new generation which includes only the Classic OS9 Emulation (not a real OS9) And for thoses ones PT free doesn't work.

Do you have a OS9 installed on a separate partition of your hard disk ?

I know that my HD isn't partitioned. But I'm not really sure how it uses the disk for booting into one or the other.

I just go to System Preferences/StartUp/Os9

Then restart.
