Default Mbox Mini Audio Dropouts in Cubase on Macbook Pro

Hi,
I bought a MBox Mini for working while I'm on the road. I use it with my Macbook Pro (the new model).
I have bootcamp installed and use PT8 on OSX and Cubase SX3 on Windows XP.
The PT setup seems to be running great so far however the Cubase Setup keeps causing audio dropouts. I've tried different latency settings but nothing seems to help. The dropouts occur on small and large projects and usually happen about every 30s.

Does anyone here have an idea how to get this sorted. Would be a shame if I had to buy a separat interface just for Cubase.

Can no one help me? I can't imagine that I'm the only one with that problem. Is it maybe a common thing that Digidesign Hardware should not be used in ASIO mode under Windows???

ok, I'm gonna rephrase it then:

Is it possible to run Cubase in Windows XP on a Macbook Pro using a MBox Mini and not have any issues?
Is anyone running a similar setup without problems?

Have you tried all the optimizations from the Windows LE General Troubleshooting thread yet?

Ive got PT8 LE running under OSX and it runs absolutely fine.
Its my Cubase setup on the bootcamp windows XP drive that causes the troble with the MBox. I've already seen that the recommended settings for PT LE and Cubase SX are different so therefore I didnt apply the LE settings on my windows system.
Are there any recommended settings out there for digidesign hardware in ASIO mode?

Running a Steinberg product on Windows with A Mac using a Digidesign interface.
I'm glad you're keeping it simple!

Haha. Yeh, I just wanted PT LE8 and Cubase when I work on the road.

@Digitech Support:
I've got the problem sorted now and it runs perfect now. However it wasn't any of the settings in the thread you directed me to. It was someone on another forum who solved the problems for me.
Thanks for trying tho.
