Pro tools m powered 8 unable to locate hardware

You will be required to do things such as tinkering with program files, reinstalling device drivers, demonstrate basic troubleshooting skills, and have knowledge of how both Pro Tools 9 and Digi Driver works. If you the reader possess all of the necessary skills and knowledge required to troubleshoot this problem, then continue reading.

If not, then it is in your best interest to forward this article to someone more knowledgeable, lest you inadvertently make the problem worse.

With that being said, make sure your hardware peripherals are indeed plugged in, and if necessary, powered on. If you were using anything like a USB hub, monitor port, splitter, keyboard port, or docking station, then these devices could be inadvertently contributing to the problem.

If neither of these two actions got you any success, then try using a different port on your computer, if possible. Doing this will reload the device drivers for your interface and refresh the connection. This is VERY important. If you are told that the files are hidden, click to show the files.

I installed the program and now when I try to run it, it says: Unable to Locate Digidesign hardware. I run Windows Vista Home Premium. Anyone who know what i should do? You really shouldn't pirate software.

ProTools Le only runs with Digidesign hardware. ProTools comes with the hardware when you buy it to keep people like you from stealing it.

You don't have anything on your list that's approved for ProTools Le or M-powered. HendyZero2 New member.

Just by an Mbox 2 mini for Thats what happened to me so now my Mbox 2 Mini is a paperweight had it for 2 months now. I hate that Digidesigns hardware is soo picky about what its compatible with.
