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

[lepetitmartien]

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.

[Francois Déchery]

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.

Let's say there are a few obvious things for longtime macusers that can seem magic to newbies and switchers. Now, there are some quirckies (be it Mac or Unix related) but not on "simple" things I'd say.

We are not absolute Apple zealots here, we even welcome mac related talks about PCs on things we can't do (like gigasampler… I was pushing a bit the Mac zealot part of me

[uccpd]

not that my post is going to in anyway make some one more happy or grow on...
but as some say "ignorance is a bliss", i am starting to think, "being a noob is a bliss"
we can get easly happier with the most insignificant thing, as it seems

and still about mac and pc software... what about the fantastic (right ) Apples's Logic running on macs only, said to have the best fx processors in the market... ? and pretty good looking they are as well!

... oh, btw, and in the end, against what some say, MacErs are nice people <ihihi>
