Atlanta Engineer's response is the correct one. After attempting to reinstall my Digi 003 driver and completely losing my Windows 7 computer. That is, it would not get past the Windows logo which I finally fixed after several hours.
I came across Atlanta engineer's suggestion. I simply unplugged my Digi 003 from the strip it was in and plugged it into a surge strip that did not have other components plugged into it. Voila. It now works perfectly.
Thank you AE !
