Problem(s?) running PT with New Macbook Pro i5 15" on Windows side (xp sp3)

[scifi]

any ideas appreciated!

This issue is driving me nuts. I just picked up the new i5 macbook pro 15", 2.4 ghz model (upgraded to the matte screen if that matters at all). I am trying to get protools working on the windows side because of various other programs and plug-ins.

After installing PT le 8.0, upon turning on the windows side, the first problem that occurred is a -1115 error. I retry starting pt again, it loads, but when you press play, a pop up comes up and says h/w buffer size blah blah. i've tried adjusting this in pt, but it didnt do anything. i updated to 8.01, but then the issue is "problem detected with audio clock"

i have tried every possible solution i could find. i actually hardly use protools. i'm on ableton most of the time, but i do use the mbox 2 and think i need to get pt running properly first to resolve my other issue. When i do run ableton, everything works until i go in and choose the asio driver. then things freeze, crash, or sound comes out but its stuttery, and no lag adjustment helps.

things i have tried:
-reformatting multiple times
-reinstalling protools multiple times on cleared drives
-i originally was using sp2, then upgraded to sp3, no difference
-disabled bluetooth
-tried removing nvidia drivers
-tried disabling other cores via this method (i know i dont have hyperthreading like the 13 in models, but i really ran out of options so i tried it): http://duc.digidesign.com/showthread.php?t=246257
-tried the multiple processors update: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=896256
-tried 8.01 and 8.03
-uninstalled internet explorer 8
-tried both usbs
-deleted the pt preferences folders

nada.

is the problem the drivers that come with bootcamp 3.1? i read somewhere about the nvidia drivers presenting a problem, but that didnt do anything for me so far as i can tell. or is it snow leopard (though im running on xp?)?


I had a macbook pro from april 2008. It ran ableton without a hitch. (i dont think i did much other than install the basic driver from the pt disk on the xp side). I used PT on the mac side on that laptop and it worked fine (it had leopard). I tried installing protools on the mac side of my current laptop, and the first thing that popped up was some note about buffer size being changed by some other thing? is it the turbo boost?

i'm so frustrated. any ideas are welcome. thanks.

To be honest I think you'd be better off asking this over on the Mac forum of the DUC.
