Why does Pro tools 6 quit unexpectedly. It happens every 15, 20 minutes. It just quits while im editing, no freeze,no crash just quits. Is anybody having these problems or know a fix?? [/LIST]

try repairing permissions, applications/utilities/disk utilitiy hit the first aid tab, select boot drive on the left, click repair permissions. this helped the quiting for me. also; OSX troubleshooting

Finally fixed the problem! I had fixed Disk Permissions several times to no avail. I finally ran Norton Utilities for OS X again, which came up with about 10 major errors in the directories and catalogs. After this completely messed up the directory I ran Disk Warrior which then fixed the directory completely. Ever since, everything is working perfectly. I normally run Disk Warrior first and then Norton Disk Doctor and Speed Disk after a major installation and for normal maintenance about every 2 months. That was the problem. I had to reverse the process and run Disk Warrior second. I do have OS X installed on a separate drive form OS 9 and have found that to be working out well. The RTAS Plug-In situation that you spoke of earlier did not pertain to my situation. Thanks for the effort though in attempting to track this down!

So after the 100th 'unexpected' PT 6.0.1 quit (usually right in the middle of some sweet edit), I've decided to start from scratch. My system is pretty simple; A dual 800 with two internal IDE drives and 1GB RAM, an external Maxtor FW drive, a couple of USB devices (TurboMouse and Griffin Powermate) and of course the HD 96 I/O. I want to make this system as clean as possible, as long as I can retain my network connection. So for those of you who have stable sytems, how did you do it? Currently I'm running a partitioned 80GB drive; 25 GB for OS9, 25 GB for OSX and 25GB for audio storage. Could this be the root of all OSX evil? Should I install on a totally separate drive? I want to keep OS9/PT 5 for safety. Should I only go to 10.2.3 instead of 10.2.4? What sort of install are you stable people doing? I would really appreciate a ground up guide. I've already done a clean install to 10.2.4 but my system is plagued with sluggishness and quitting problems. Thanks for any help, AB
