I also got this problems on starting the playback.

It seems related to very large sessions for one of my customers.
These sessions were created last year, playing back a lot of audiotracks, using a lot of TDM plugins.

I remember this also happens in the past, changing the H/W buffersize solves this issue that times, but today anymore.

Now I found out that deactivating the RAM hungry FXPansion BFD solves this playback problem, so this seems to be a memory issue.

My system:

Win XP SP 2
PT HD4 7.4 CS4 in Digidesign Expansion Chassis via PCI-e Expansioncard/ Command 8 / 96 i I/O + 96 I/O
Tyan Thunder K8WE 2x AMD Opteron 275 / 4 GB
Nvidia GForce 7900

my system tells me, that only 2,5 GB of available could be acessed, anyway only 2 GB are available for a single applictions under a Windows 32 Bit system.....

My next investment will be a switch to Mac... for sure!


Hope that helps you out,
