Enrike,
I've had this problem off and on before. The difference this time is that it happens *all* the time when I run Pd, not just occasionally.
I am currently trying to migrate my setup to Linux, but it's taking quite a while to get everything working properly.

bad luck. As far as I understand this problem its caused by your soundcard and there is no way to get rid of it totally. Its the same in my laptop (a Compaq Presario 920 EA) and i have never managed to solve it. However there are some things that should help a bit like: format your HD as Fat32 Increase the -audiobuffer that PD uses Defragment your HD
I noticed better performance after doing all this in my machine but I am not sure why i just tested few things. Also I have the feeling that doing a custom installation of windows would be better than installing the Windows provided with the laptop. I mean that for example my laptop came with a copy of windows and also with an OS restore disk that contains a copy of windows + all the customizations by the seller. My experience is that the machine will works better if you install yourself windows. The first time I reinstalled windows (and formated the HD to fat32) the machine worked better than the first day when i bought it.
Another solution is to install linux and use PD under linux, this is the best solution. Latency is much lower and it performs better.
