...general setup and troubleshooting tips (see below) made my screen blue when I was rebooting.



To Adjust Processor Scheduling Performance:
Choose Start > Control Panel. In Classic View, launch System. Click the Advanced tab. Under the Performance section, click the Settings button. Click the Advanced tab. Under the Processor scheduling section, select the Background Services option. Under the Memory Usage section, select System cache option.

I had to reboot in safe-mode to change the parameter...to get the PC work again....?
What is this "Processor Scheduling Performance" ?

The Processor scheduling section determines how Windows performs when you run multiple programs simultaneously. Only one program can run in the foreground at one time, and that's the program that is active and whose window's title bar is blue and top-most on your screen. The other programs, running in the background, still run but with fewer CPU cycles. The general idea is that the program in which you're actively working in, the foreground program, is the program you want to give the most processor attention to. If you want to more equally share computer-processing time between both foreground and background programs, click the Background services option.

The Memory usage section determines how memory is doled out to foreground and background programs. By default, the foreground programs are given a larger slice of memory in which to run more freely. If you want to devote more attention to a program you're running in a background window, check the option labeled System cache.

...maybe my blue reboot-screen was caused by my logon user. I was not logged in as administrator.

I now logged in as administrator and adjusted the Processor Scheduling....but ended up with the same blue-screen result.....

It's really hard to follow what problem you are having....

Is it giving you a blue screen when you start Pro Tools? If so, you need to update your PACE drivers from www.paceap.com

It's giving me a blue screen when I'm rebooting after the adjustment, before the Win XP logo appears... Then I have to reboot in safe-mode and set the Processor Scheduling back to "Programs" for both settings...
