Well this is my first thread in this forum, I have researched so much, but I haven't found any answers to my problem.

I just bought a MAUDIO FAST TRACK ULTRA 8R interface to record my drums at my home studio, I dunno why but it didn't come with protools, instead it came with ableton live (anyways I dont use it).

I installed protools 7.4 M-powered on my computer (AMD PHENOM QUAD CORE, 8 GB RAM, 1 TB HARD DRIVE, WINDOWS 7 64-BITS ULTIMATE) and made a lil registry change in order to run protools 7.4 in windows 7.

I also installed ezdrummer, and waves mercury bundle.

I started recording a song, 4 tracks for the drums, 3 guitar tracks, 1 bass guitar track and 1 piano track. But I wanted to add some ezdrummer tracks of congas, timbales, bongos, and that stuff. I did like 4 or 5 ezdrummer tracks with all of that. And also I activated some plugins into my guitars and my drums, a couple of reverbs, compressor and equalizers.

At the end of the song (the last 30 seconmds) is the part where the "latin" instruments (the ones that I made with ezdrummer) are played. I pressed the PLAY button, and everything was running perfect, until that part started (the part where the latin instrumens are played), in that part I had 4 drums tracks (bass drums, snare, hihat and overhead), 3 guitars, 1 bass, 1 piano, and 4 ezdrummer tracks. I dunno what happened but it crashed, it made a HORRIBLE SOUND like it was stucked. And a FATAL ERROR window appeared. My computer was frozen, the mouse was frozen, everything, I had to reset the computer in order to use it again.

I thought that maybe the plugins were the problem, so I unistalled them and run the song again, but IT CRASHED again. But this time I made a print screen of the ERROR WINDOW, where it saiy that the problem is the ezdrummer.dll

Here is the print screen, it is in spanish because I am from south america but it basically says that PROTOOLS APLICATION STOPPED WORKING, and after that says NAME OF MODULE WITH ERRORS: ezdrummer.dll

I unnistalled protools and ezdrummer, and reinstalled it BUT THE PROBLEM KEPT HAPPENING. It crashes in that part of the song, I dont know why. It is a quad core, the ram is huge and the hard drive is also huge (1TB and 900 GB are free), it should WORK!

I really dont know whats happening, Im worried that maybe the program corrupted itself and that I have to format my PC.

The weirdest part is that I also have CUBASE 5 installed, in this program I run ezdrummer and Waves Mercury bundle PERFECTLY WITH NO PROBLEMS AT ALL.

but, I WANT TO USE PROTOOLS

any advice? I really need your help, I´m getting mad with protools!

Thank you...
 
google how to remove pro tools preferences.
This is always my first thought with PT issues.

If you had to do registry mods to get it to run, you're pretty much on your own though.
