protools express freezes during loading DAE
 

Hi IGNORE THIS - PROBLEM SOLVED

after dumping and re-loading the drivers for the fourth time, everything has started up again - thanks for looking.





I am running protools express (10.3.4) on an m-box setup on a win 7.1 64 pc. After four happy years of use, I have returned to a project after a couple of months absence from the program. Protools now refuses to load, freezing halfway through the DAE load segment stating it 'unable to find hardware'? My pc recognizes the mbox and ilok, and everything appears normal when I open my ilok page. I've tried the suggestions in other similar threads: downloaded a new ASIO driver, swapping between usb 2/3, new cable, holding 'n' during loading, re-booting, (I also found another thread about allowing cookies (?), but this didn't seem to have any effect).
I know others have encountered this? I include my Sandra system report.
thanks

SiSoftware Sandra
