Pro Tools Freezing during playback
So I am new to the forum, but have been using pro tools for about a year. i recently had to reformat my system, and reinstalled PT, but when i open a project, it loads fine but won't playback. I hit spacebar, and the entire thing freezes up and I have to restart PT, only to have it do the same exact thing. It also happens with new projects as well as old ones. I have tried adjusting the playback engine settings, but nothing happens. I reinstalled PT and all of my drivers are current, and I am only running basic plugins that come with PT 8 originally. I updated from the digi site and still nothing. I have literally read a hundred posts, and have yet to find anything that helps. PLEASE HELP ME!
Running Sony Vaio, 3GB ram, external hard drive, mbox 2 mini. everything worked three days ago, something i should have changed from the original setup? |

Re: Pro Tools Freezing during playback
I get this really weird bug where PT doesn't respond and most of the menu options are greyed out.. but if i restore the Edit window all of the sudden things work again (i noticed in 8.0.1 I had to click on the edit window too)
i use m-powered so maybe it's not related but next time you freeze up try and see if you can't switch to the edit window |

Re: Pro Tools Freezing during playback

Re: Pro Tools Freezing during playback
What operating system did you reinstall? Did it update to Internet Explorer 8? If so, uninstall it - IE8 is known to cause problems with Pro Tools. Did you go through the entire General Troubleshooting thread? Also, it's best to install Pro Tools right after you install drivers for a new OS - and test Pro Tools each time you run an update, install plugins, or additional software. That way if it starts acting up you will know what's causing the problem.

Technically yes - though PT will probably run without it. It is recommended though.

Re: Pro Tools Freezing during playback
well unfortunately installing the full version of quicktime didn't make any difference compared to QT lite.. thanks for the advice anyways :)
