It seems daunting, but with a little patience, you'll be on top of things sooner than you'd think.

Sometimes that's what it takes - someone to get a hands-on on the machine. It may be something simple that someone sitting down and going through the setup will see and go 'oh yeah - here's the issue & fix'. Part of the problem with trying to get help here is very often the person with the problem can't give accurate info because they don't know how to get said info or may not think it's important. Sad to say but there are times one has to become a computer geek to get a system up and running efficiently and people either don't want to get involved to that extent for whatever reason. Not saying that's what's at play here by any stretch of the imagination.
All that being written there's a book that should still be out there called PT101 (it's a courseware book). I first ran into it with regards to PT10 and don't know if it's been updated for PT12. Here it is on Amazon for PT11
https://www.amazon.com/Pro-Tools-101.../dp/1285774841 It will take a rank beginner that has a modicum of computer knowledge to getting them on the road to recording success with PT.
