Weird problem with new tracks on Pro Tools 8

[Trace305]

Hi,

I recently got a new computer with Windows 10 on it. I installed Pro-Tools 8.0.3 on it and despite all the issues I've heard about compatibility, it actually works. However, there is one weird bug about it, and I want to make sure it isn't some wonky setting I have.

When I open a file that has, say, three tracks already on it, I can record new music on it, no problem. But when I create a new track from scratch, the audio never analyzes. When I save and close, I get error messages saying files are missing. And the weird part is if I move the audio off the new track that won't work, the audio links and works again...as long as I put it on a pre-existing track. Is there some whacky setting I have that's preventing Pro Tools from working properly? The inputs are all fine, it's simply a software issue. What do I do?

Try installing the 8.0.5 update which added compatibility with Win7. You never know it might improve things, but do not be surprised if nothing changes.

I forgot I had posted this!

Unfortunately, too much time went by for me to remember how I fixed it. =(

But I did fix it, though the 8.0.5 updater...didn't work. My apologies for my unscientific language.
