Have you tried searching for the error in the Answerbase?

Re: error 6086 with an mbox
 

yes of course
they say to disable hyperthreading in the bios but i have have an atlon xp 2100+ hyperthreading is only for intel processor

Re: error 6086 with an mbox
 

Ok for some peaople which are intrested
the problem was coming from my usb 2.0 port
you should'nt plug your mbox on usb 2.0 port it's not comptatible with the mbox

Re: error 6086 with an mbox
 

Uh, that's weird... I thought USB 2.0 could handle USB 1 devices
Anyway, thanks for sharing that with us.

Re: error 6086 with an mbox
 

So David,
Where did you hear USB 2.0 is not compatible with Mbox? Was this information from Digi Tech support?
I am just curious if this is a known problem, because I have searched for about 6 months now on Mbox
related problems, and have not seen that discussed? I wonder what one would do if all ports on your
computer are USB 2.0??

thanks,

Re: error 6086 with an mbox
 

I used an Mbox on my USB 2.0 ports with no problem. 2.0 is backwards compatible with 1.1 and 1.0.

Re: error 6086 with an mbox
 

is it possible to use mbo 5.31 software on windows xp sp 2 if so what do i need to download because everytime i start protools it goes to a black screen and says the computer needs to be restarted. can you help?

Re: error 6086 with an mbox
 

I am having the same problem. I have a Pentium 4 Processor with Windows Xp and have yet to be able to play a complete song without getting the same error. Disabling Hyperthreading is not an option in my bios.

I don't think I have any USB 1.0 ports but I didn't think that would matter since I understand them to be backwards compatible.

I am still looking for solutions. Any help would be appreciated.

Re: error 6086 with an mbox
 

I am having the same problem, also 9129 and 9093 errors. But before a month or so ago everything was working ok for about a year, so this is more like a computer problem rather than a Digidesign flaw. I assume something changed in my system,registry, or configuration.
I've tried turning off the ethernet card, disabling firewall and virus software, and stopping a few services but so far no luck.
Also trashed Digidesign databases (what are they for anyway?).
