Topic: ProTools 10.3.10 suddenly slow on launch at RME Firewire400

Thank you in advance!

I am running an old Mac 2008 with UFX and ProTools 10.3.10. It was running flawlessly. All of a sudden it is beach balling at the RME Firewire launch.  Eventually ProTools launches and runs fine.

I have tried everything zapping PRAM, clean install ProTools, update drivers etc.

Only variables, recently opened a Quicktime MP4 and loaded in a StudioLogic Studio keyboard CD.

Anyone with suggestions all greatly appreciated.

thank you in advance.
