[abikambic]

Protools 8 le is getting a freeze up or lock up where it does not respond to what I requested and than you get that windows not responding showing up.


Also I get alot of the 1450 errors saying not enough resources when trying to open a session, it than takes multiple trys to finally get it to open.

Thanks Much

Welcome to the forum abikambic.

We'll need to have a detailed look at your system so we can help you and see what's up. Posting a Sandra report will definitely benefit so we can see under the hood in more detail. Also, it will be good for you to read through this thread that will have additional info which will help.

Hi Shane,
Thanx much for your help.
I have the software to do the Sandra report.Should I just copy and paste it here on a forum post for you?

I see now that I cannot copy and paste the info for the Sandra report. How shall I get it to you?

[TOM@METRO]

You can copy and paste it here in a post on this thread.

EXAMPLE

Tried the typical control c bluing it out way and it did not want to blue out. Will try something else when I get home from work.

Thanx Guy

Thanx for the tip. Heres my computer breakdown. If it not enough I can give you more from Sandra.

I updated to 8.03 from 8. I also did the changes that the DigiTech post says to do for windows xp, general troubleshooting and optimizations post.


Should the protools software be loaded into my E drive. Right now its in my main c drive where my operating system is and than everything gets saved into my E drive.

Thanx Much

I would think about a add in video card. While I personally have never had any issues running PT with integrated graphics running a video card is considered mandatory. Baring that I would go into BIOS and try to lock the video memory in at around 128MB and "fixed" or "non dynamic" if thats a option. Your trying to eliminate any shared video memory.

[albee1952]

If you are using a firewire interface or drive, your firewire controller is probably not compatible. You also have integrated graphics which can also be a problem(but you could disable it in BIOS and install a proper graphics card). I can't say for sure if the motherboard is compatible(with the newer AMD systems, its a total crapshoot). You also have 8mb cache drives and a larger cache might help in performance(but likely is not the major problem you are now dealing with). If you decide to add a video card, stay with 256 or 512 max(avoid the super-duper gaming cards with 1gb or more as they will hurt PT performance).

[abikambic]

Something else I noticed is that after I did the general troubleshooting a nd optimizations stuff I no longer have my Synthogy Grand Pianos selections and IK Multimedia Total Workstation 2 selections in my multi channel plugin/ Instrument where you can select them to use with my midi controller?
