Hello, I'm guitboxbrown. I just bought a mac G4. I installed Pro-tools 5.1 on there, and for some reason the computer will not pass the starting mode. It keeps getting stuck on the icon that says OMS. Can anyone help me bypass the start, so I can go in and delete the program? Your help would be greatly appreciated. Oh yeah, HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

OMS? What does that stand for?

I think its open music system, it gets installed with protools, I think you are experiencing a bad extension conflict involving protols, try holding shift while starting up to startup without extensions. I assume youre running os 9 since OSX shows no icons loading at startup.:mac:
