Pro Tools Freezing while loading Plug-ins Structure.dpm

[alwaysveryloud]

Hello fellow toolers of this so called free world!

ive been reading about this issue all morning. A few days ago my strike (updated a while back with new juice) was having an issue everytime i would try to assign it to a track.

This morning i decided to uninstall strike completely and reinstalling it. Well... before i reinstalled it i wanted to see if my pro tools had any issues. Sadly my pro tools started freezing while loading plug-ins Structure.dpm. I reinstalled pro tools (ive been using 8) still no solution. I dont have IE8 and i have updated latest PACE drivers as well. No matter what i do im stuck on this screen.

last i launched the tech support utility and deleted pref and databases.

Any help is much appreciated - im extremely frustrated. My specs are below

windows xp home sp2 (i dont think its a sp issue since i havent installed sp3 and till yesterday everything was running fine)

AMD athlon 64x2 duan core processor 4800+
2.50Gnz with 3.25GB of RAM
