Error message (-9073) Cutting me off in the middle of recording!

[thatguy22]

My setup (I know it's ancient) :

Dell Latitude D531 Laptop with 1.79 GHz and 3.37 GB of RAM, Windows XP Pro, M-Audio Fast Track Pro, Pro Tools 7.4 M-Powered, Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex 1TB (USB) : 932GB (E:)


I keep getting the error message "DAE can't get audio from the drive(s) fast enough . Your drive may be too slow or fragmented, or a firewire drive could be having trouble due to the extra firewire bandwidth or CPU load. (-9073)"

I know I have a old computer and a old system of pro tools. I've been running it on here because my new computer ( a HP TrueVision HD Pavilion dv6 with beatbydreaudio) won't accept the version of protools that I have saved to a disk. Do I just need to buy a new version of protools for my new computer??

In the meantime though I'm trying to record music still everyday so this sucks. I put all the information I could about my computer. Even though my configuration is old it had been working pretty solidly until now. I can't record without protools giving me this error message every 40 sec now. I would appreciate any help. Thanks,
