If your having problems getting Pro Tools to launch with your hardware (say the hardware is new or software install is new) you can hold down the "N" key when you launch pro tools... a splash screen opens up and you can select the hardware in the top drop down menu. Then press ok and it will launch using that hardware.

If your hardware doesnt show up you need to install the correct drivers, restart and do the same thing... once you get the hardware to show up in the dropdown you should be up and running,
