    Downgrading from 10.4.11 back to 10.4.6

    I made the mistake of upgrading to 10.4.11 and now my version of xpress pro 4.6 will not launch.  I guess I need to downgrade back to 10.4.6.  It seemed to launch with that OSX version although I didn't try to do any serious editing.  How do I downgrade?  What version of express pro should I be running on 10.4.6?  I'm using a G4 dual 1.25.  Or would it be best to downgrade back to 10.3.9 and forget about tiger?

    Thanks

    Everett

    For 10.4.6, you can run 'Pro 4.8.4 at the latest.


    To downgrade, you just put your Tiger disk in and choose "Archive and Install" in the installation options.

    Thanks I'll do what you suggested.  Which version of quicktime works best with this combo 10.4.6 & 4.8.4 ?

    Re: Downgrading from 10.4.11 back to 10.4.6

    Thanks again for your help.  I did a archive & install and am now running 10.4.6.  I then downloaded xpress pro 4.8.4  however it will not open.  I get a box telling me "QuickTime cannot open the file: "AvidXpressPro_4.8.4.sitx" it is not a file that Quicktime understands (-2048)"    I'm running v. 7.0.4 of quicktime.  any ideas why?

    thanks

    When you archive and install, do you have to reinstall avid all over again? after effects? and all sort of media applications? Is there a specific very detailed way to do this? I'd like to downgrade the OSX but don't want to reinstall everything all over again.

    You will have to reinstall Avid but all you should have to do for AE is re-authorize.
