playback stops all the time

[jorg]

Hi, I'm running PT LE 5.3.2 on Win XP (AMD XP 2300+) with a digi 002. Sometimes I can work perfectly fine for hours but most times when starting to play a song the window: "The operation system held interrupts for too long. If this occurs often, try to increase the "H/W Buffer Size" in the Playback Engine Panel (-6089)" appears all the time.
Well, my buffer is on max already and applied all windows setting which are recommended by digidesign. Are there any additional settings I have to make???

Cheers

Do you have a lot of plugins inserted?

that's the funny thing. sometimes it works perfect with tons of plugins but it happened again just now with no plugins at all.

I sometimes find this happens when I try to do things to quickly..Like push the buttons on my Hui to fast, other than that it only happens when I'm overloaded with plugins and automation..That's all the info I have on this problem

Maybe I should install Win XP with service pack 1.

thanks a lot anyway.

You must have SP1 for it to function properly..You can download it from Microsoft update page

Did you solve your problem? I have the same problem on a Toshiba laptop with the service pack already installed. I have the problem despite not running ANY plugins. If I run at 512, itt tells me to increase my buffer size, if I run at 1024 it tells me to decrease it.

PS I have disabled my wireless, which seems to be a problem specific to these laptops.
