NEED HELP WITH PRO TOOLS

2.2 ghz isnt really much of a processor nowadays, how many tracks are running? at what bitrate? That might be a part of the problem. You can try adjusting your buffer settings in the prefrences, I'm not 100% sure where its at but if you fiddle around i'm sure you can find it havn't fucked with protools in a minute. When you find it open up the buffer using trial and error too much will create lag time and fuck up the session for sure. It has very little to do with the interface your using, i seriously doubt buying a 003 will solve your problem. If anything you might need to clean up your computer, do a disk cleanup and a de frag, that might help. Thats all I really know, hersey will probably give you more expert advice when he sees this. Hope I was helpful
Need more info on this one. We don't know if you are running an amd or intel chipset and we don't even know if it is dual core. These things come into play with pro tools 7, and we also don't know if it is a laptop or desktop.
Also, we don't know if you are recording to the internal hd or an external one. What I suggest you do is lower the buffer size in the playback engine and trash/delete everything in the DAE preferences folder.
If that does not work try this:
1. Right-click on "My Computer" and select "Manage."
2. In the left-hand column, select the Device Manager." Click on the "+" next to "IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers." You should see three types: Primary IDE Channel, Secondary IDE Channel, and a third type. There will be three type entries for each internal mounted hard drive.
3. If this third type is "Standard Dual Channel PCI IDE Controller," your errors are due to something else. If the third type is anything else, right-click on it and select "Update Driver..."
4. If Windows wants to connect automatically, choose "No, not this time."
5. When you get to the Hardware Update Wizard, select "Install from a list or specific location (Advanced)." Click "Next."
6. Choose "Don't search. I will..." and click "Next."
7. Highlight the "Standard Dual Channel PCI IDE Controller" and click "Next" then "Finish" then "Yes."
Try that and if it doesn't work post up the computer specs (INCLUDING THE TYPE OF CHIP SET.)

i been through countless forums on that shit, and digi says the cpu needs to meet there EXACT specs... or some shit will slow it down in the background to stop it.... wireless cards do that, also change the cpu to standerd processsing not that acpi shit
I got the point i use my acid pro 6.0, and use my digi hardware through it, which is fine quality, but pro tools has more powerful plug-ins, i use to finalize the track

pretty much you need a G5 is the real solution, digi has yet to make pro tools work fawlessly on pcs, like cubase sonar and acid
