Hi Bob,

I can feel your frustration!

I've looked around the internet and the following Sweetwater site...

...gave the below information.

Plug-Ins

One of the first things Pro Tools does when launching is look at what plug-ins are installed, if they’re authorized, and whether or not they are compatible. If Pro Tools stops launching while scanning the plug-ins, there is probably a plug-in that is causing the failure. To verify this, go to the Pro Tools plug-ins folder, move all of the plug-ins to a temporary folder, and then relaunch Pro Tools. If Pro Tools launches when the plug-ins have been removed, then you have verified that the issue is caused by a plug-in(s). Updating your plug-ins and/or removing plug-ins that are incompatible usually resolves this issue.


With the above in mind, go to the plugins folder in ProTools and delete the "Band-in-a-Box DAW VST Plugin.AAX".

I'm guessing that that is what is stopping ProTools from loading.

Regards,
Noel
