What happened to me and apparently many others on the ProToolsUsers forum is that after installing the update and you try and open the ProTools program, it won’t open! Ugh! What a pain!

Anyway, I had to use a (free) third-party uninstaller to properly uninstall IE8 and once I did things are back to normal. I just wish it hadn’t taken 8 1/2 hours to figure this out. Another reason why you should have a machine dedicated to only your media work and not connected to the Internet. Obviously the problem is being able to afford two machines.

Anyway, I hope this helps someone spend a lot less time figuring out what the heck is going on and instead working on their projects.
