AAE-9173 Error - "Ran our of CPU Power" - but all plugins are disabled

[Space_Monkey]

Hi Everyone

Well, here I am, struggling to find the time and energy to learn how to use PT to sketch a song (which is difficult in and of itself), and now my little friend, error AAR-9173, stands in the way.

This is the "Ran Out of CPU power" error, which suggests that I disable all the native plugins (what's a "native" plugin anyway?).

Thing is, they are all disabled, and the CPU is barely working, except that it's still at 100%. There's something that bothers it, but I don't know what. See screenshot attached.

Can anyone please advise? Help me get the creative juices flowing!

Thank you in advance!

Intel i-7 6700K, @ 4.00 GHz, 16GB RAM
