Re: Pro tools 9093 Hardware buffer size to low problem
What version of Pro Tools? This may be a problem:
EXT_FAT32 (E:) : 126GB (FAT32) @ Seagate Desktop 500.1GB (USB) I'm also not sure about integrated graphics(which traditionally has been a show stopper). The new i5 and socket 1156 motherboards may be different now.

Re: Pro tools 9093 Hardware buffer size to low problem
btw! worth mentioning, when i first started up pro tools I had the mbox connected to a usb 2.0 port, and pro tools where very unstable and i couldnt get bellow 256ms. So i changed it to the usb 3.0 port. but now it's 128ms

I have an 10 years old PCI graphic card, anyone know if it would be possible to insert that just to see if its the internal graphic card causing the problem? will such an old card even run vista? it propably dont got more than 8mb

I run a $37 MSI GeForce 7300LE 256 card(PCIe) on my rig and its fine(get the latest drive from nVidia.com).

Re: Pro tools 9093 Hardware buffer size to low problem
Sandra only shows 1 4gb stick of triple channel RAM. Not sure how that can be running at triple channel speed with only one stick. Probably not the reason your buffer is only getting down to 128, but something you may want to address.
Then again, looking at the specs for the Mbox Mini, 3rd gen, you can only get down as far as 128 samples on Windows. Cheers,

[Edit] just checked out the newest mbox mini, and they still use usb 1.1 on that... that's weird when usb 2.0 is old tech. and now usb 3.0 wich is 10x faster than 2.0 is starting to become the standard |

Pro Tools does not work with FAT-32-formatted drives. They ALL need to be NTFS.
