M-Powered Protools 8 issue Windows 7

[Devastationdynasty]

So I am giving this a try again. Hopefully this time will be better. So I have installed Protools 8.0.5. But I still don't have any of the virtual instrument plugins. All I really is the drum machine. This has been nothing but a headache from the start, but I am trying to do what I can. I don't want to spend extra money on this if I don't have to. Is there any way to get the Creative Toolkit for my 8.0.5 for Windows 7 64 bit? Thank you in advance.

I do every day. Lenovo T510 and mbox 3 mini

desktop at home is a AMD Athalon X2 4800+

Project space has i3, i5 and AMD based systems ALL running windows 7

there are plenty of guides on system optimization here. follow one of them and you may have some success. in lew of that post a sandra report and ask a question that has an answer in the form of instructions.

"Sistema Windows : Microsoft Windows 7 Home 6.01.7601 (Service Pack 1)"
Are you running home premium or home basic? the latter is unsupported and may be the cause for some of your problems.

[markolone]

yes i use home premium , this is the realy problem?

what version i need?

[browniespeaks]

home premium is ok. So thats not it. Markolone start a thread with sandra report and a specific second by second account of your problems. The OP should do the same here.

[markolone]

thank tommorow i make a report with sandra, and write my problem.

the problem i have is with latency, when i use buffer low of 256....nothing work.but first i post my profile with sandra.

thank

According to AVID, Pro Tools M-Powered 8 is supported on Windows 7 from 8.0.4 and higher. But reality has obstructed things before.

I got Pro Tools M-Powered version 8.0.3 and installed it on W7 and then installed 8.0.4 update. Ok so far, but I’m not a power user, just a weekend hobby jockey.
