Nope, it was the "Pro Tools 9 + MBox Mini" bundle. Bought it off a friend. I upgraded to PT 10. He transferred his license to me.

If you've been though this with support you probalby got the right answer, if you want to go over that here again you need to describe exactly what you have and what you are doing in a useful level of detail. Start with reading the "Help us Help You - READ THIS Before Posting!" link on this page, and post a Sandra report.

Did you follow the driver install instructions and install the driver without the Mbox attached (e.g. you are not supposed to wait for Windows to detect the Mbox and try to do a plug and play install).
See Sandra report below. BTW...
Installed and uninstalled with interface disconnected EXACTLY as per user guide included in the box. Tried with the drivers on the disk (1.0.6) AND tried with the latest drivers off the site (1.0.8). I HAD successfully been able to install it...until today. Today, it is like plugging nothing in the usb port. For the uninstalls, I tried the Windows uninstall from the Control Panel AND I tried using REVO Uninstaller Pro. I tried installing to same USB port where it worked before (3.0), AND I tried installing to a USB 2.0, AND I tried installing to a powered USB 1.1 hub. Nada.
