Thanks for the reply, Phil. I have installed all of the latest drivers for everything. Protools was running great this afternoon without the RAID card in place and onboard RAID disabled. I had protools running fine with the raid card in place with the older drivers that were not signed by XP (but PT would crash whenever I tried to access a session file off of the disk on the Promise). Now that I have the new drivers installed, Protools will not boot. It loads DAE and then crashes (just PT, the computer still remains functional - ctrl-alt-del end PT then fine.) I uninstalled PT, trashed the prefs folder. I know I will see an improvement in performance if I get the the IRQS set up differently (gotta learn how to force slots- forcing slots in Bis does not hold true for XP unless you disable ACPI - not ready for that yet). I guess Ill keep trying stuff - hopefully, someone here will have seen this before......
