Then use the search function to read through any of the other 2,630,705 threads on this very subject..

Then, if you are still having problems, try reading through: http://duc.digidesign.com/showthread.php?t=133039

By the time you finish reading all of this, and trying out the various suggestions, there may be an easy, (and fixable), answer.

Peace!

I think that pretty much sums up that there are, in fact, no worthwhile answers don't you? I have the same problem, MBox 2 pro, pro tools 8, Core 2 duo, asus p5k, 4 gig ram, texas insts firewire, dedicated internal audio drive, xp service pack 2 and have spent a total of over 40 hours trawling those 2,630,705 threads each with equal failure to draw a meaningful pointer to the problem.

Bottom line is this, the software/hardware combinations should work out of the box - period. If these things are so sensitive to system specifics its high time digi had a tool on the site that will check those specifics, pc wizard can do it, sandra can do it, why can't they?

I don't mean to sound 'agravated' or rude, but I think there are lots of us out here who are simply not getting answers no matter how long we trawl the board. The DUC should be a place of meanningful support, its beginning to feel like a technophiles playground. Are we artistic creators or computer analysts? Please point me to the "I'm a music maker, don't know squat about computers, nor do I want to ... now how do I make this thing work" thread.

Rant over, back to being a computer analyst.
