What Is The "error Type 2" Options

[uccpd]

hi
im new to the forum/agora since i got my first mac with the purpose to use it to work on music, mereally as an hobby
i got in second hand a g3 with os9.2 installed, and other usefull apps as this one to open the cdrom door!... though the os9.2 installation cd wasn't part of the deal
i started by trying to install the free version of Protools, everything ok untill this day it started crashing opening a window saying "error type 2"... later tried to install the free Vision StudioPro, it asked for a font i dont remember the name for able it to work, i got it installed and then the same error that was happening with Protools "error type 2"
any ideas?
thanks in advance

I have this problems too...

Studio vision is OLD, very old…

Now error type 2 is some mash up in memory… you're going in the wall in some way. Try allocationg more memory to the software. How much memory do you have?

thanks lepetitmartien, i in some way managed to solve the problem...
more or less like this
opened the extensions folder and removed a few ones... it worked but i ended finding it works much better to set the OS to its default extension configuration... anyway i may have problems in the future, and now it takes 2 times more to boot it... naturally with all that those extensions loading eh?

lepetitmartien, how do i allocate memory to an app?
i have 512, it seems to be enough to run what i need and i'm quite happy, but even so i would like to know about it now that you mentioned it

i still have a few questions, some doubts and curiosities, mind you? <grin>
thanks

i know it already

this Macs things... solid as a rock, i love it

The less foreign extensions you have, the better. Don't try to remove Apple's as in OS 9 it seems not to interfere.

Assure yourself it's in 9.22

Note that for protools, the balance is to make sure the DAE has enough memory, But I prefer a PT user to explain the ins and outs. PT itself is ook with about 80-90 MB.

For protools you have to take care of the following:
- DigiSystemINIT must be in the extention folder
- DAE Folder must be in the system folder and you must assign it a LOT of memory depending on your plug-ins installed: add the default DAE memory to the size of your plug-in folder (System/DAE Folder/Plugins) and assign this total to the DAE application.
- Protools Application, add at least 30M to the default memorry size.

If this doesnt work, you certainly have an extension conflict : try to return to the Appple standart extension set, then only add the DigiSystemINIT and DAE folder, restart, and try again.
