does Pro tools le 8 work on windows 7
Hello all,
I have a M-Box2 factory, Pro tools LE 8. And i run it on Windows XP. I would like to upgrade to Windows 7.. But, can i still run my version of pro tools on windows 7? help please.. :confused: |
Re: does Pro tools le 8 work on windows 7
You'll need version 8.0.5 (Actually 8.0.3 or above works with Win7).
http://avid.custkb.com/avid/app/self...p?DocId=393667 You must install PTLE 8.0.x already installed on your system because 8.0.5 is an updater. Make sure you read the 8.0.5 instructions BEFORE you install 8.0.x. If you don't pay attention, and follow the steps exactly, you will run into trouble. There are special instructions that you MUST follow to get it to work on Win7. Please scroll to the bottom of the page linked above and read the Installation Instructions and Windows 7 Additional Installation Instructions. |

do i need to buy version 8.0.5 ? or can i update it for free...
*edit* excuse me i didn't click ur link.. i see it is a free update. @QuikDraw but do i have to choose LE or M-powered ??? (since i'm working with a M-Box2 Factory) |

Choose LE if you have an Mbox. M-Powered is for M-Audio devices.

Re: does Pro tools le 8 work on windows 7
I've just bought a second hand PC and installed windows 7 on it....in terms of spec it ticks all the boxes on Avid's website
Have been trying for the past day or so to install Protools 8 LE for the first time but having big problems :( Ive uninstalled Internet Explorer 8 and uploaded the latest version of Quicktime, two bits of adviced offered on DUC for solving compatibility issues, but still I can't get past the the very first install screen. If any one can help ill buy them an e-beer |

Run the installer as Administrator. When the installer asks for the interface to be connected, DON'T. Just click OKAY and let it finish and reboot. After the reboot, run the 8.0.5 updater. When the updater asks for the interface, turn on(002/003) or plug in(Mbox2 or 3) and click OKAY. Reboot again and open Pro Tools(have the authorization code handy....the one that starts with "DIGI0800......."). If this fails, run the uninstaller again and start over, BUT try installing in Vista SP1 compatibility(everything else applies). BTW, since you never mention what interface you have, if its the old "original" Mbox(baby blue with Focusrite preamps) then you can skip all of this as its not going to work at all. The old Mbox doesn't work past 8.0.1, and Windows 7 requires 8.0.4 or later:rolleyes: |

Dave I have a situation that I was able to run Protools LE 8.0 with mbox mini 2 before and I installed win 10 and had problems. I reflashed my pc back to win 7 and since then had not been able to reinstall Protools Le 8.0.
