Default MBox / ProTools Trouble...

I'm new to recording and I've just recently set up an MBox with the included ProTools 6.4. However when I try to play anything back, it often stops and says that "Audio processing is conflicting with other CPU tasks". I have updated ProTools, ended every non-necessary process, and tried every option presented in the manual. I'm running XP Pro, an Athlon 64 3200+, a gig of ram and a 200GB DiamondMax Internal HD. Is my computer insufficient for ProTools? Will getting an external Audio-only drive help this? Thanks alot, Chris.

Are you using a lot of plugins in the session you are trying to playback?Also set "Open ended Record allocation" in preferences to 10 minutes.

Have you set your CPU usage in PT's to 85% and changed Open Ended Record Allocation?

ive tried it with my LAN disabled, firewall disabled, Anti-virus disabled. Video card is an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 256, sound is an audigy 2 ZS. ive disabled the sound card too, still no difference.

Primary culprits can be ( after regular tweaks are done ) the onboard audio device, and the NIC..
Disable, and try again...
