UI Freezing

[mungu]

Hi Everyone,

I am running in an issue where the protools UI is freezing when I am starting or stopping playback/recording. It doesn't affect the actual playback or the recording, but the UI becomes unresponsive until I click around a bit, and then it comes back. Keyboard commands still work. The CPU is pegged at about 50% when this is happening. The weird thing about it is that it only happens with certain sessions. Yesterday when I was really noticing this, I was switching between two different sessions and it consistently happened on one, and not the other.

I tried creating the session from scratch and importing the audio, and it made no difference. Also I tried updating to the cs10 patch and it still didn't solve my problem...

Here are some details about my setup:

Homebuilt Intel Core2Duo E8400 Wolfdale (3.0GHz)
4GB DDR2 RAM (PC2 8500)
Windows XP SP3
Hard Drives: Hitachi Deskstar SATA 3.0 320GB <- OS Drive, Hitachi Deskstar SATA3.0 500GB <- second drive.

Thanks in advance for any help!

What version of Pro Tools? What interface? Have you trashed preferences yet?

Whoops! I thought I put that in, sorry.

It is Protools M-powered 7.1

I just read about trashing the preferences today, I will try it tonight when I get home.

Has that fixed your issue.

Hi Tom,

Sorry I took so long to reply. This did not fix my issue.. I am still seeing it, but only on one particular session file. When I try to re-create the session file and import the audio tracks in, it is still there.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
