Idle Digi 001 running at 100% CPU usage in XP Task Manager Help
When the Pro Tools application is open the CPU usage in Windows Task Manager shows 100% how can I fix this problem. I can only get about 6 tracks on the DAVEC test. Please help.
Thanks Ajay |

Re: Idle Digi 001 running at 100% CPU usage in XP Task Manager Help
100% usage in the Task Manager is normal....6 tracks DaveC is not...
I am sorry i cant give some tips, but you have to tell a bit more about your system.... what mobo, processor, harddisks? what applications are installed? what OS are you running? (winXP i think because of the task-manager...) other installed hardware? irq-listing?

I even tried it with one stick of 512 RAM and nothing. Any help or info you could provide Bastian would be greatly appreciated. If this is not enough info please let me know and I will provide the information you need. Thanks Ajay |

Make sure you disable your antivirus or PT will barely run.
Also make sure qttask (quicktime) isn't nunning in the background. It's a system hog. |

The system was lagging before I ever ran these programs.

Thanks for the input on the CPU usage, but does anyone have any suggestions on how to get 32 tracks on the DAVEC Instead of 6. Bastiaan where are you? Help.

I have an XP 1800 and get 32 + 2 aux's. With antivirus running, I'm lucky to get a session open. DMA enabled on your drives? System sounds and "eye candy" disabled? What programs are running behind 001? Have you tried disabling your LAN while in PT? |

Re: Idle Digi 001 running at 100% CPU usage in XP Task Manager Help
Hi Ajay-
No, I'm not running Norton, E-trust by Computer Associates, which is by far much less intrusive than Norton or Mcafee. (I've had experience with all three. Mcafee is the worst. Like a boat anchor.) Digidesign specifically reccomends disabling any antivirus (as well as other suggestions)in the 5.3.1 Addendum pdf, page 4. Your IRQ's look OK... it seems to me you have some program choking your system. Might also try replacing the VIA IDE controller drivers with generic M$ ones. Sorry you're still having problems. |
