I have been trying to get Pro Tools working on another laptop, I have Pro Tools LE with a Mbox 2. My computer specs are below and I am getting the "held off interrupts too long increase buffer size" error usually followed by an error “Audio processing is conflicting with other CPU tasks" when I increase the sample rate to high. I have followed the optimizing instructions. I have a second profile with minimal services running just for Pro Tools and I still can't get the error to go away. I have also tried each buffer size option, chose the single or dual processor, I have gone into the task manager and set the priority and affinity for the Pro Tools process and have had no effect on the message. I have searched for answers and I seem to be at a road block. I just want to be able to record some simple tracks again.

Thanks for any help I can get.
