Installed PT LE tonight and afterwards Acid uses 100% cpu at all times. I used Process Explorer and discovered that within Acid it was DirectIO.dll that was actually using the cpu. Web search pointed to Digidesign as being owner of DirectIO.dll. If I kill that dll the cpu goes back to normal and AP seems to run fine.

Not sure how to deal with it.

Your profile does not indicate you are using DIGI audio hardware.

What Digi hardware device do you have installed?

Mbox mini- I rarely use it- only have it for rare occasions for clients and collaborators- someone gave me Marvin Gaye 8 track in SDII format so needed to convert to wav

Also- to be clear- I am on a laptop using Echo Indigo PCMCIA card- the Mbox mini will only work with Pro Tools- and also I am not using them together via rewire or anything- Acid is the only thing open when this issue is occuring.

Thanks-

I removed the ProTools software and the 100% cpu issue was gone (I have a Mac laptop I can use if needed with it- need to get on with recording not fixing compatability issues- my creative buzz was already killed tonight- I'm over it)

I discovered another issue- with long midi tracks. I will make a fresh post.
