How do I import session data without plugs in LE 7.4?

I have a faulty plug somewhere that crashes PT when I try to open it. I have been trying to import each track one by one but even thats not working. I want to import everything dry any ideas?

Unfortunately import session data is not so good with LE as with PT TDM/HD, but still it's good that it's there.

You could open the original session and remove the plugins and then import, but I think you'd have thought of that, so I guess you can't even open the original session?

What I'd do is remove all the (3rd party) plugins from the plugins folder to an unused plugins folder. Then your session will load, unless something else is wrong.

To pinpoint which plugins is causing the problems keep adding plugs one by one till you find the bad one. You can probably skip the Digidesign plugins, there are usually no problems with those...

Try downloading the Tech Support folder to temporarily remove your plug-ins and it should launch your session with the Digi plug-ins with no problem.

Download here: Digidesign | Support | Tech Support Folder - Utilities and Troubleshooting Tools

Are you on XP/Vista/OSX?

Thanks for the speedy replies guys. I was actually able to open it by cutting all of the plug .dpm and .rsr files out of the plug ins folder and pasting them in a temp folder. Now I just have to add them back one by one to find the culprit. Im sure its probably an older plug that I was just demoing that has expired.

I'll have to check out that link though for sure!
