pt 9 meters acting up (choppy)

[ma1827]

very hard to explain but how come the signal on the meters is so choppy? (not going up and down smoothly) like ive seen on other peoples setups

windows 7/ 16gb of ram/ quad core/ pt 9.0.5

Could be a graphics issue. On my system, whenever I have any Waves plugin open on the screen, the meters get choppy(I need to update the Waves but don't have the cash right now). Have you set Pro Tools to Run as Admin, and to Disable Desktop Composition? Start there, and maybe update the graphics card driver. I get my graphics drivers from the parent company instead of the card maker(IOW, go directly to ATI.com for an ATI driver, and directly to nVidia.com for those drivers). Personally, I have found that 9.0.5 runs much worse on my system so I am staying with 9.0 until I go to 10.

will def start there, thank you.
