Pro Tools LE Windows Millennium & 98 Second Edition Settings & Requirements

• Each IDE drive must have DMA enabled in the "System" Control Panel. This can be changed in the "Settings" of each IDE drive on the "Device Manager" tab of the "System" Control Panel. For detailed instructions click here

• Auto Insert Notification must be disabled for all CD-ROM and removable media drives (such as Zip Drives). This can be changed in the "Settings" of each of these types of drives on the "Device Manager" tab of the "System" Control Panel. For more information click here

• Although not a requirement, removing or disabling startup applications, system utilities (i.e. Norton Utilities) internal and external hardware devices (i.e. tape drives, Ethernet cards, scanners, TV tuners, non-Digidesign sound or MIDI drivers) may increase the performance of Pro Tools LE. Just keep in mind: the more you demand of Pro Tools the more Pro Tools demands of your system.

Additional Notes

• Pro Tools LE can NOT be installed on systems running Windows XP, 2000, NT, 95, or 3.1.

• While Windows 98 First Edition may run Pro Tools LE, only Millennium & 98 Second Edition have been tested by Digidesign.

• Pro Tools LE 5.1.1 is compatible with Japanese versions of Windows Me and Windows 98 SE.
  Other double-byte character versions of Windows (Chinese, Arabic, and Korean, etc.) are not supported.

Dual Boot Systems

If you have a new PC that only has Windows XP or Windows 2000 on it, you will need to also install a compatible operating system on a separate partition or hard drive in order to use Pro Tools LE for Windows 98 SE or Windows Me. If you want to use more than one operating system on the same computer, you can use a program such as PartitionMagic® to help create a "dual boot" system.
