Strike "not enough physical memory, select smaller size" error

[bobbyskeg]

I just installed Strike through the Instrument Expansion pack and it won't work at all. When it loads up it only lets me audition the presets, but when I come to loading them it comes up with the error "not enough physical memory" and then nothing happens. Any idea what's causing this and/or how to fix it.

Thanks


Pro Tools 8.1 HD3
Intel i7 980x 3.33Ghz 6core
12 GB DDR ram

I had this happen the last time I loaded Strike, but I also had several other VI's loaded. So I wondered like "that must be a big kit..." and thought it was because of low available RAM (I have 3.25 GB available).
Now that I think about it, either there's something wrong with Strike (bug/shmug) or it's a serious RAM-hog.

I will try again this WE and let you know..

After installing PTIEP did you delete all the Prefs and repair permissions?

I didn't do that no. How do I do this and what effect does it have?
Thanks

I thought about the momeory hog thing and opened it in a brand new session with nothing other than a VI track and the one Strike plugin. Plus with 12GB RAM I'm sure the memory is'nt actually the problem, thanks for the input though

I've misread your question, thinking you were talking about not enough DAE memory. Ummm... Pro Tools, currently, has a 4 GB cap as it is still only a 32 - bit programme running in a 64 - bit Operating System. And yes, if you do not have Strike content loading size restricted, you are going to be presented with that content error. Try 800-400 MB.

All seems to be working now randomly, did a few restarts n it started working. Some wierd teething issues I guess. Thanks though

What is your Strike Content Size setting?
