Hi John,
I know you've posted a lot of questions about your problems over the last
while, and I don't remember all the ins and outs, so I appologize if I'm
repeating what's allready been said (maybe even by me).
I used PARIS all day yesterday transferring tapes - at least 9 or 10 hours
straight and no plobelms at all. It can just work.
To succeed, PARIS (in my expereince) needs:
lots of power - true power 550 PS for me. 450 wasn't enough.
lots of cooling - I cut a hole in the side of my cases and mount a fan to
blow air away from the PARIS cards. No more clicks or freezing here - ever.
It's not that hard to do, either. I just use a drill to make multiple "punches"
in a circle and cut out what's left with some snips. Then, I drill the mounting
holes and mount the fan. Voila. I also leave an empty PCI space between
my cards to allow more air to get around them. They need it.
No bad DX plugs. Try running with DX disabled - if it's stable, you know
that a bad DX plug is the problem.
No hyperthreading/dual CPUS - this is a rule I'm breaking successfully.
Go figure.
Non-defective cards - I'm suspicious that this is your problem. If you've
tried the card(s) in another computer with a clean install and all the afore
mentioned requirements (especially the cooling one) were met, you probably
have a defective/dammaged card. At least they are cheap these days.
I hope this helps, John. It's working for me.
Good luck!
Mike

Thanks for the great tips. I'm actually pretty solid now back in win98.
I tend to push paris past what it wants to do also. Adding /removing
plugs while playing, turning on / off looping while
playing.....basically doing what is intuitive to me but paris no likey.
I'm getting much more solid by just using it for tracking only and not
dinking with it while tracking, then doing mixdown afterwards adding in
plugs and such.
I don't know if PT lets you add/remove plugs while recording/playing but
it sure would be nice. Thanks.

I'm not sure why you would be wanting to add/remove plugins whilst
recording, (especially), or playback.
No system is designed to do that, and no pro would do it whilst recording,
(at least none that I know).
I was constantly pushing Paris past what it was designed to do, especially
on XP, and never had issues with stability, just functionality, in that I
was trying, mostly successfully, to run video with it
For me, it came to a point where I needed more from Paris than it was able
to give. in terms of video support, so I went to Nuendo....but.....it
certainly doesn't sound as warm and forgiving as Paris.
with the video work I do, it's not a great problem and it's more than
compensated for by the ease of use and editing variety that I can perform,
plus plug-ins delay compensation...with video timing, that's a "must"

who said I was a pro? I did write a song about a dog. Does that count?
The more I use Paris the more I see how it is intended to be used. For
example when I'm tracking a guitar and the vocal is playing back I would
try to add a compressor, reverb etc and dial it in while tracking the
other instrument. I'm learning what is and is not allowed in Paris
world still and am getting more stable as I learn best practices. But
what's intuitive to me is not necessarily what Paris allows.
Rock on,
John
