PROBLEM - PROTOOLS LE SESSIONS SUDDENLY SLOW

[nickster]

I am running Protools LE 6.4 with a Digi 002 on a Powerbook 17" 1.33mhz using an FW 800 oxford chipset drive. I am on OS 10.3.5.

Last night, out of nowwhere came up a dialog informing me that it wanted to 'download' a new update over to the 002. I went ahead and did this.

Now I can hardly open some of my sessions as everything is sooooo unbelievably slow. It is says sometimes that the DAE cannot get data from the firewire drive quickly enough - but this seems illogical as all was fine yesterday. I upgraded to 6.4 when it was first released and it has been working fine for months.

Can anyone help please - i read somewhere about trashing prefs but have no idea how to do that.

Thanks
