will resetting PRAM help with software problem for Protools?

My computer is freezing up when I quit protools if I change the DSP settings in side the program it also freezes during start up if I us the saved DSP with the session for example - if it is saved with dsp 2 and i click ok it freezes. It seem to only be starting and quitting properly if I stay running on dsp 1.

Protools 7.4-OTHER, Mac OS X (10.6.4), running snow leopard

Probably not, the PRAM deals with hardware problems.

Try single user mode and see if that helps.


Start in Single-User-Mode(Hold the cmd()+S when you hear the tone and release when you see the Apple logo) this will give you a black screen with text (command-line) wait till it finishes booting up and you have a command prompt(localhost:/root#) then type in (/sbin/fsck -fy) this verifies and repairs your startup drive. If it finishes and reports the hard drive has been modified---repeat the command-line entry as above.

Do that until it report the hard drive is OK. then type in (reboot).


Let us know how you make out,
