I'm running Mac OSX + Classic 9
I've sucessfully installed Pro Tools (Free) but every time I open the programm it blocks half way through and says I need OMS 2. or + to continue. What is OMS and where can I download it..... and where do I install it?
Thanks in advance

At the bottom of the ProTools download it says:
Note: You will also need to download the latest Open Music System software for this application to work.
Check this out:

You won't get it to work anymore. The following is from the Protools website:
"Pro Tools FREE for Mac OS 9 and Windows 98/Me — Discontinued
Pro Tools FREE for Mac OS 9 and Windows 98/Me are no longer available for download or on CD.
There are no current plans for a standalone version or a free version of Pro Tools for either Mac OSX or Windows XP.
When Pro Tools FREE for Mac OS9 and Windows 98/Me was released years ago, it was originally meant to be a temporary demonstration tool for Pro Tools. At that time, there were no portable (USB or FireWire) Digidesign interfaces, only Pro Tools systems that used PCI hardware. Since that time, Digidesign has introduced the Mbox, Mbox 2, Digi 002, and Digi 002 Rack interfaces, as well as Pro Tools M-Powered software, which supports many M-Audio portable interfaces.
Pro Tools HD or Pro Tools LE software for Mac OS X and Windows XP is included with all Pro Tools hardware systems. Pro Tools M-Powered software can be purchased and used with any supported M-Audio audio interface."
Even if you do get it to work, it's not a good version. It's version 4, which didn't even have stereo tracks. You're better off getting cool edit or garageband if you don't want to spend money.
