[PTLE7]

Thanks nst7. Your post made LE8 appear in the Avid store by some quantum effect. I could only find 9 and 10 before which are no good for Xp.

FYI PT 8 installs and works well, looks good and has nice features. PT 8.0.5 gave blue screen of death and Parity Check/Memory Parity Error so I'm back to PT 8 and all is well.
My DVD drive failed during the PT Instrument Expansion Pack 5 x DVD marathon but I got a new useful external drive and all is installed and working fine.

Thanks again for you prompt and accurate reply.
