You should install all your programs to the OS drive.

considering my 11r gui is gone, do you think 2gb ram upgrade on an hp pavilion a530n w/ a 2ghz amd 64 athlon and windows xp 32 bit would run PT 8.05 le ? cuz the 1gb isnt cutting it.

You are having so many problems, im starting to think you just need to wipe the drive completely and start over with a fresh OS install, ect.. ect..

Well, i am guessing that PC would use DDR2 ram. DDR2 ram is more expensive these days then the newer DDR3 at least the quality ram brands.
(i just checked Crucial and it appears that its not even DDR2 its DDR)

Its an AMD chip. Intel is better for PT.

That model was introduced in 2004. 8 years is a LONG time for a computer.

The chipset is nVidia. Not good, Intel Chipset is what you want (dont confuse nVidia chipset with nVidia Video processor)

On the HP site it says the max supported Ram is 1GB.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/d...product=404646

Looking on Crucial it says the max ram is 2GB with DDR PC2700, DDR PC3200 with a maximum of 1GB per slot.
http://www.crucial.com/store/listpar...vilion%20a530n

DDR is old. DDR3 is the standard these days.

Windows XP is dead and will not be supported in future PT versions.

So taking all of that into consideration, I would say dont waste the money on Ram. save up and build a new PC, buy a new PC that meets or exceeds the requirements from Avid, or buy a mac that meets or exceeds the requirements from Avid.

thats my opinion.

just thought of something else, make sure you have Quicktime installed, thats helped me before with the 11R Editor when using the Eleven Rack on pc's that are not up to snuff with the requirements.

Default Re: 11r eleven rack window gone disappeared missing vanished POOF! (and no midi input

thank you very much sir, your thought and consideration is greatly appreciated. i dont have quicktime actually, so i will get that installed today. the laptop matter is now closed.

on another note, just to let you know, idk if u recall, but I had ordered the ram last week (when i started this thread). you are right, crucials site and asus site both said 2gb max, and I got a great, unbeleivable deal from PNY for 2x 1gb pc2700 ddr1 sdram dimm modules, so since I bought it already and I cant return it, Ill just give it a shot and see how it works and tell you.

however, im going to do what you said, custom build a windows 7 PC for PT 8 le. please tell me what specs you recommend:

-intel mobo/chipset (which model? w/ built in or seperate gpu?)
-intel processor (quad core? mhz speed?)
-ddr3 (how many gb ram?)

anything else i should be aware of?

thanks for the suggestion, i think its a good investment anyway for the next 7 years or so

This happened to me. No midi, no 11 rack window.

I did a completely fresh install of windows on a new drive, and poof. It was fixed.

Benoni and I were stumped when this happened in 2010
