Default Re: ProTools was working but it is now "Unable to locate Digidesign hardware"

I think you need at least version 8.04 with Vista, but I would go to 8.05 if you haven't already done so;

And install latest drivers to go with 8.05;

Re-install drivers with interface turned off then reboot with it turned on.

Once 8.05 installed run plugin updater;

I've found at least on my system, that switching hardware Interface on before booting computer, and shutting computer down before turning Interface off helps avoid the problem of losing driver communication with computer.
